Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

My 22 year old son was convicted of heroin possession and is sentenced to a CBCF facility and then 3 years probation. If he violates then he is to serve a 10 month prison term. If he does commit a violation will the time he has already spent in jail, 2 months, and any time he is at the CBCF facility count as time served on the prison sentence?
