I was in a situation somewhat similar to yours. During Covid, we were permitted to do oral swabs on video at home. After being in the program for nearly 3 years (was almost finished & never had issues), my very first sample came back +THC- which ...
I know of a lot of colleagues on probation were able to land a job in the drug/alcohol rehab setting. Also, LTACHs tend to be probation friendly. Good luck!
I’m sorry all of this happened to you! My opinion is that they’re testing more frequently because you’re near the end. Most people say this is what hap happened to them as well. If there was an issue with your first test in May, they would have notif...
Get a lawyer ASAP!! I was in a similar situation, almost finished monitoring & I actually had a false positive. They threatened to take my license because I wouldn’t admit to wrongdoing. My case was pushed to the board. Anyway, really long story-...

I am in PNAP so I’m pretty familiar with them. Please consult an attorney. I promise it’ll save you a lot of grief. Not sure where in PA you are, but there is an excellent Philadelphia based attorney that will come up first with a Google search. If y...
Hey! I’ve been in PNAP for 3 years. It is reallllly overwhelming at first, but I promise it’ll get easier.
As long as you’re compliant with the program, there is no disciplinary action on your license. The fact that you’re in PNAP is confidentia...

I’m in PNAP too & am extremely grateful for my CM- she has been wonderful. She even advocated for me when I had a false positive, and after dealing with the board & having a HORRIFIC experience (a whole other terrible story), I realized PNAP ...

So my story is a little weird, but similar. I am already in the “program”- actually almost finished. I had an oral swab come up +THC. I did not use THC. The board threatened my license & said I was subject to disciplinary action because I did not...

If you are maintaining your innocence, do not submit! Get a hair follicle test & an attorney ASAP!! I was in a situation of a false positive & this helped greatly.
I am considering a new career as well, which totally breaks my heart. So where are you in the process? Did you get an attorney? I also wanted to add I had the MRO review as well & they said the same as yours did. I’m so sorry you’re going through...
Hi! I am going through the SAME thing right now. I had a false positive for THC- I did not use any drugs. I have been 100% clean for 3 years- in fact, I’m almost finished the program. I have been fighting to prove my innocence to no avail and the boa...

Hello! I am in your exact position. I reached out to PNAP to "self report" after I was confronted with diversion of opiates. I too am committed to doing everything necessary to recover, improve, and move forward in my life. However, I feel lost in th...
Hi! Reading your advice to the original poster was so very helpful for a situation I am currently dealing with. One question-- I am from the Philly area and was referred to 2 places for my initial assessment. I have an idea as to what you are saying,...
