Getting cleared to work again

Hello all, it has been quite a while since I have been here. I completed my inpatient treatment, my IOP, and stepping down to general outpatient. I have been told that in the near future I am going to get the ok to seek employment. I will have 6 month controlled substance restriction. Any tips out there in seeking a job as far as the interview process goes....i.e lapse in employment, explaining the restriction, convincing them of my confidence in my recovery...any help would be appreciated!
