Debbie Stanphill appeals the 36-month sentence imposed by the district court upon revocation of her probation. She argues that the district court erred in departing upward from the sentencing guideline range of three to nine months. See U.S.S.G. §§ 7Bl.l(a)(3), 7B1.4(a).

Considering that Stanphill’s sentence for the offense of conviction was the result of a downward departure, an upward departure was authorized. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4, comment, (n.4). The district court appropriately considered Stanphill’s need for drug treatment, and the 36-month sentence was well below the statutory maximum imprisonment term of 20 years. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(D); 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C); United States v. Pena, 125 F.3d 285, 286-87 (5th Cir. 1997). The sentence was therefore legal. See Pena, 125 F.3d at 288. The district court did not plainly err or abuse its discretion.

AFFIRMED.
