Nothing about any of this is fair. They will take advantage of the cash any way they can I’m sorry you’re going through this.

How do y’all do it, aside from giving first urine of the day? That isn’t an option for me at this time because I am busting as soon as my eyes open. Hoping to train myself. But, if I go as soon as I wake up, and test 2 hours later, you think eating a...

Just out of curiosity, how many specialty tests have you had vs how long you’ve been in the programs? Also- has anyone successfully presented a closer testing site? The closest one to me is 30 min away and someone in my AA meeting said that you can s...

Last question- do you use affinity? Do you know how to petition for a closer site?

What is the specialty urine test? I haven’t heard of this yet.

My area only has one IOP place and they are coming back, questioning my eval recommendations from the board approved facility I went to- or maybe I'm just reading it wrong due to the high level of paranoia I've acquired the last year. They just seem ...

Finally started my IOP after a long drawn out mess. Starting the UDS and all of their glory and I am certain I will regret saying this later but I'm actually excited to get it started! Anyway, after reading about all the false positive horror stories...

First, how many of y'all were able to apply to complete your program early and actually granted early release? second, with these programs, has anyone been able to apply and go to NP school while in the program? I know most schools won't accept you o...

Yes, my license is unencumbered. I don't plan on applying until at least next year so I can get used to this program but was curious if it would even be an option. Thanks for the info.

I won't enlighten you with my initial response as I read this. Instead, I will state that I'm here, trying to figure this out with minimal information from every party involved in my situation and only asked here because this site has provided me a g...

I would be more than willing to drive, and have searched for a place within a few hours of my home. The only place local to me doesn't seem the most ethical. I just hadn't seen on here where anyone mention moving states to do an IOP, but perhaps that...

To an IOP? I hadn't seen anyone having to move states for a class a few hours a week. That's crazy!

Finally did my 3 day eval and got back word that I am recommended IOP. The facility does not do IOP (SURPRISE! I was planning for Inpatient due to them being an inpatient facility but..!) anyway, how long were your IOPs? They said they didn't recomme...

Man, that was rough! Thanks for the infk

I believe my BON requires the eval recommendation to be complete before returning to work but I see a lot of people on here say they were released after x weeks but before their IOP is complete. Do you have any insight there? And who knows, this plac...

Ok, thank you for cleaning that up! I guess I was confused thinking people on here that mentioned being there 8 hours a day were in IOP. I didn't realize there was a partial hospitalization scenario. Thanks again

After all the great info I've gathered on here over the last few months, it seems the only facilities I'm authorized to go to from the BON have every quality that is suggested not to have. All have healthcare programs, all connected to an inpatient f...

How awful!! As if this stuff isn't stressful enough. Good luck!

long story short, I started a new job before starting the program. How much do they find out about your situation? Do they get a report of all your details? I don't want to divulge more than necessary information but so not want to leave anything out...

After you talked to your programs "people", how long did you wait, we're you ALLOWED to wait before getting the eval? Please answer if you read this.

I did the online "application" and received an email from the board saying someone would contact me. That was weeks ago! Also, I had got a job in the mean time and the web site said I have to cease working immediately but someone from the board said ...

Hi, I'm Ryan. I got caught with some morphine in my pocket a few months back and here I am. They are now also trying to get me on some charting errors "because I now gave them doubt". It was a first time thing, though I do take norco at home for a b...

My parents 40th Anniversary is the end of next month and my wife and sister in law have planned a huge party and I'm hoping to delay it in case they force me into inpatient. I hate the thought of delaying and having to be in the program longer and al...

Have any of applied to the program in your state and been denied? I am super anxious that they will deny me and then use my "admission" against me? Thanks. This waiting game is a killer.

Thank you so much. Congrats! And yes, very lucky indeed! All the board approved providers that I have called require a multi day assessment but I'm praying I can somehow get by without having to do inpatient still. I'm looking into traveling to Ga pe...
