Respectfully, there is no way to accurately assess this from the few facts you provide. How long ago was the first deliquent charge, what was the outcome, had all conditions of the original experience been completed? These and other factors can impact what the judge will decide this time. In NJ, the likely determination would also depend on whether the juvenile was pleading guilty or going to trial; and, on whatever steps the juvenile had been taking to address the drug use issue, such as an out-patient program. Consult directly with an experienced juvenile defense lawyer admitted to practice law in OH as soon as possible. Good luck.
