You should contact an experienced criminal defense law firm who can go to the court and pull your file and determine how much the bail is on the warrant. The law firm can also determine whether the judge in that court would consider releasing you without arresting you if the law firm will make a “general appearance” on your case. This could mean you would not be arrested and might not have to post bail.

Then the lawyer can talk to the judge and the prosecuting attorney and attempt to resolve your case without you going to jail. However, if the warrant is for you not paying a fine, or not making restitution or not doing a drug or alcohol class, it is very likely that you will have to do any or all of those things for the case to resolve in your favor.
