HPRP

Published

Hi Everyone,

I've been doing a lot of research online and it looks like there are quite a few people who have had to go through the HPRP process.  I got a DUI over a year ago and LARA reported it, so I now have to go through the evaluation process (was just given a list of potential evaluators).  I was wondering if anyone who has gone through this has any recommendations.  Thank you in advance.

What type of drug/alcohol testing did you have to do before your evaluation? Also what questions did they ask during your intake? Thanks again for your help

I haven't gone through the evaluation yet, I will be doing the intake interview on Friday. I think that when you do the evaluation that they need to talk to 3 references. The counselor doing your evaluation will contact the names of people you give them.

Please let me know how it goes tomorrow.  Good luck!

My best advice is to retain a lawyer who has experience with this. He told me who to pick to do the evaluation and how to answer the evaluation questions and the HPRP found no active AUD diagnosis so I didn't have to go through the program. The evaluator did make me provide one reference (I gave him my friend), but after they met to review his assessment, they wanted to confirm with my PO that I had been discharged from probation early and had passed all tests. After they got confirmation from her was when they called and told me I don't have to go through the program. Hope this helps. 

Did they want to access your medical records?

Quick question for you. If my evaluator states I have no diagnosis will they still be able to make me be in a MA. Or do they have to not make me sign a MA and release me from HPRP?

Do you know if it's all up to what the evaluation says? For example could the evaluator state no dx and no treatment recommendation and HPRP still try to get you on a monitoring agreement?

Yes, even if the evaluator does not have a diagnosis, they can try to do it. They followed up with my PO even after my evaluator said I did not have a dx and did not recommend tx and after she told them all my tests were clean and I got early release, they deemed me ineligible for the program. I talked to another person who they tried to make go through it without a diagnosis as well, but his lawyer fought it and he got out of it.

Gosh this is so frustrating. How long after your evaluator sent everything in did you hear from them? Did your evaluator tell you they weren't recommending treatment before they sent it in? Thanks for answering all my questions.

Yeah, he did let me know he didn't have a diagnosis and he wasn't going to recommend treatment. It took a few weeks after he did the evaluation for my intake manager to tell me that they had to contact my PO and the following week they told me I was ineligible. They meet to review cases on Thursdays.

Can I get your email so I can chat with you privately?

With your friend that had to get the lawyer after his evaluator stated he didn't have a diagnosis and they still tried to get him into a monitoring agreement. How long ago was his DUI before his evaluation? Was it recent to that time frame and that's how they tried to say he needed one? Thank you
