Here's the deal....
I had a pain pill addiction r/t a car accident. I knew life was getting unmanageable and I voluntarily admitted myself to inpt rehab. I completed and have been clean. No convictions/no issues whatsoever with the board. I am currently licensed in KS. I originally took boards in MO, but never practiced in MO. The job I got required both KS and MO. I thought that it was a simple renewal process until I got to the q on the MO renewal that asked " have you in the last five years been to drug/alcohol rehab". I asked around and decided that being truthful was the way to go. Oh boy was it not....they sent me back a 28 page chem dep packet to do and it was brutal....the depends were obscene. Now, I am considering withdrawing my application and getting a job strictly in KS....but my worry is not that they (MO boards) know I have this issue, will they tell KS? I don't even know if they would let me revoke my application...I have not sent them anything more since the initial app....just feeling lost and wanting to do whats best. I am also going through a child custody battle w my ex over this rehab stint. Anyone know about this??? I don't even need the damn MO lic anymore but I already am up **** creek now it feels....HELP!!!
