I had been sick at work and not feeling well for a few days. I reported my feeling I'll to my supervisor, to which I was told there wasn't enough staff to send me home. An hour before my shift was to end, I was pulled aside and told I did t look right, and was taken for a drug test by the DON and CEO. They brought me back to work and let me drive home. The test showed I had trace amounts of THC in my system; I hadn't ingested it knowingly, but it had been baked into food at a party I was at a few days prior. That kicked off the investigation. My urine and hair was tested, to which no THC was was present; however, the remnants of that diug that I had taken months ago did show up in my hair. Now here I am with PNAP/PHMP labeling me as a drug abuser with a problem who needs this ridiculous program. I feel it's excessive. I can't justify being looked at like a full blown user and subjected to a 3 year program after an isolated incident that occurred months ago. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for advice. I tried a drug back in Jan; entire time of use was 2 days. It was a one-time, isolated incident. It wasn't detected until months later in my hair. The state of PA/PHMP/PNAP is diagnosing me as having a substance abuse disorder and want me to complete a 3 year program that is beyond overwhelming and seems to be a bit severe for a one time use. I initiated the VRP because my PNAP case manager pretty much scared me into it. I never touched anything of the sort since that brief exposure. No disciplinary history, problems, etc... does anyone else feel that this 'contract' I'm supposed to participate in is a bit harsh considering my situation? I want to decline the VRP, as I am not addicted to or abusing any substances, nor do I feel I need to 'recover' from anything. I feel it is a bit much considering the 'offence' If you can even call it that. Any advice, suggestions, feedback? Would love some insight from my peers. Thank you!
