   bigdttu posted a topic in Recovery

   I am about to start TPAPN soon. If firstlab says that I have been selected today, what do I do if I work 7a-7p that day? I know labcorp closes by like 5pm. Is there an "after hours" place I can drop off my urine AFTER my shift? Thanks.

   It might help you, but I wouldn't rely on it. I tried naltrexone pills until they had my vivitrol shot ready. I drank one time while on each of these(seperate occasions) and i noticed it was just another excuse to allow me to give into the thought ...

12. TPAPN

    bigdttu posted a topic in Recovery

    TPAPN does not seem to have a good advocacy support system. My case manager does not even seem to have any guidance on where a TPAPN nurse can get a job. Does anyone know any specific employers in the Dallas area that will take a nurse in TPAPN? Also...
