OBON reinstatement dependency

[Slugger1]

Hello all, I was a RN for 10 years and I let my license expire in 2013. I went to go renew them rather get a reinstatement and I seen that they are asking now which was not there before if you've ever been dependent on anything whether or not it was legal prescribed illegal or not prescribed... Anyhow so I answered yes with a letter of explanation that I have never been in trouble but I became dependent upon my prescribed medication and I am now on Suboxone. Can anyone please give me any insight and 2 if this is going to be an issue and if so how will they end up proceed? Thanks in advance

you may be required to enter into a contract or agreement with your states assistance program for nurses which could be min 6 months long to possibly 3 years. You may be asked to go to treatment, maybe not. They might just mandate u do meetings and drug tests.
