Help! Can't find a nurse recovery support group!

Published

Hi guys! Looking for any advice on how to find a nurse recovery support group in DMV (DC, Maryland, Northern VA) area. I found one at Kolmac recovery center here but it's full and there is a waitlist, plus they want me to be evaluated by their own counselor and attend a few regular ipn meetings "to get a feel for it" (and pay for all of that out of pocket of course). Money is tight and I have already completed an ipn at a different center that was covered by my insurance but they don't have a nurse/healthcare professional support group unfortunately.

BON is no help as I am still waiting to hear from them (almost a year!). I called them and the reception person said that they usually work with Kolmac and that's all the info she can give me and that I need to wait until they finish their investigation. I have been sober since I got caught a year ago for diverting, got a recovery friendly job etc. I'm just trying to be proactive and show the board that I am serious about my recovery and keeping my licence.

TIA!
