Your only option if you don't think your public defender is helping you, is to pay for a private attorney. No one can really advise you without knowing all the details about your case and the history regarding your criminal record, probation terms etc...If you get into a treatment program that may look better and have an effect on your sentence. But nothing is for sure. Only your attorney will know what is best for you. I wish you the best.
