Investigation

I recently went to a rehab and completed it. I don't drink everyday and the only reason I went was on the recommendation of my therapist(yeah, I know very stupid idea to follow through with). When I came back my psychiatrist said I needed to self report. I did that and refused the VDAP program because I've already been to a rehab. Now they are gonna do an investigation. I'm scared I'm gonna lose my license or be put on probation. I recently just got a new job and am currently working out my notice for my current one. Does anyone have any words of advice?

    Hi! Sorry you are going through this, it is tough, but doable. I'm assuming VDAP is a monitoring program? Typically, they will tell you to not work a job using your license until the board has completed their investigation, if they have said this to you, I would follow that. It took the board in Virginia years to contact me after my investigation was complete. I have seen all kinds of advice on this site. From my view, I've never known of a person to go to rehab that doesn't have some kind of alcohol use disorder. You could get a lawyer and try to fight the board if you have a couple thousand dollars laying around, but at the end of the day, the fact that you have been to rehab is the exact reason you need to be in monitoring, not the reason you don't need monitoring, I would easily assume the board will feel the same way. The sooner you start, the sooner you finish. Good luck! And hey, at least you have the rehab part out of the way!
