Brown, who appeared before a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Monday, must return for a hearing on February 10 that will decide if he'll serve jail time after his three months in rehab.
The singer has an anger-management problem and drug-abuse issues, according to a probation report obtained by CNN.
He's been on felony probation since pleading guilty to beating up singer Rihanna on the eve of the Grammys in 2009.
Judge James Brandlin ordered Brown to check into a rehab program a month ago after he had been booted from another rehab facility a week earlier for smashing his mother's car window during a family session.
A report submitted to the judge by Brown's probation officer included a letter from his current rehab facility saying he "has made significant progress" since starting in the program on November 20.
"The clinical and medical team have witnessed very positive change in Mr. Brown since his psychotropic medications have been changed and he has been taken off medical marijuana," the program director said.
"His ability to emotionally regulate himself has improved markedly."
Brown was arrested on an assault charge in Washington on October 27. That case is why Brandlin ruled Monday that he was tentatively revoking Brown's probation for the Rihanna assault. He will decide in February if he will order Brown to complete his sentence in prison instead of probation.
