Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My brother was arrested for his 2nd DUI and was also charged with an HS 11550 (at the same time) in San Joaquin County. He's been through rebab, voluntarily, 3 times and has either been kicked out for not staying clean or it hasn't been successful. Will the Judge know about his previous attempts at rehab? What do you think will happen?

If it was voluntary, and not a condition of his probation the court would probably not be aware of it. I doubt that his inability to successfully complete rehab would matter much in the criminal proceedings.
