“Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood’s troubles have been chronicled on the hit MTV show, but the reality TV star may be heading somewhere that cameras can’t go for a long time.

STORY: Amber Portwood, Teen Mom, Goes Home From The Psych Ward!

Following an arrest for drug possession in December of 2011, Amber is still in custody and is facing a 5-year stay if sentenced, but according to TMZ, there may be a way around the half-a-decade jail-stay.

TMZ Reports:

Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood has struck a plea deal after her drug arrest last month — requiring her to serve a 5-year prison sentence — but TMZ has learned, there’s still a way for her to keep her freedom.

According to the deal, law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Amber can stay out of the big house … provided she completes a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program.

As part of the deal, Amber pled guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of probation violation.

The entire case will be dismissed if Portwood successfully graduates from the Madison County Drug Court program — but we’re told, if she screws up …  she’ll be tossed in the pokey immediately, no questions asked.
A hearing is set for February 6th — when the judge will decide whether to approve the deal.

TMZ broke the story — Amber was arrested on December 19 for drug possession and failing to provide a urine sample (a stipulation of her probation). She is still in custody.

We hope for the best for Amber, and we hope she learns some responsibility from this experience, if not for herself, for the sake of her child.
