HPRP help

Do you know where I can find other people who have been through this? Thank you for your words. Tried PMing you but I don’t have access to messaging.

Thank you! I don’t have any one else for information or with experience so please feel free to write as much as you want. Also I can’t use personal messaging because I just made this account and I think you need more posts to use the messaging. Im currently waiting for a callback from a lawyer but I’ll check that website if I need to thank you so much. I'm terrified and have a family of four that depends solely on the income from my current job and I’m terrified that their well-being is threatened from all of this. Any information or experience is greatly appreciated.

I was charged with an OWI in January of 2020 and I’m just now being contacted by the HPRP. Digging into the program online seems like a nightmare. If anyone can answer some of my questions I think it might help ease my entry into this stuff. I currently work in an emergency room setting and without access to narcotics, I will probably lose my job. Should I put in my two week notice and start applying for dialysis or LTAC jobs now before I end up getting fired? Am I automatically going to be diagnosed with a substance abuse issue, even if I’ve never been prescribed a narcotic or taken narcotics? Is there anyway around this? I am 100% all about accountability and know that I put myself in this position. I am also not trying to minimize what I did. I shouldn’t have driven that night. But even with almost two years of documented sobriety and completion of substance abuse counseling through criminal probation, I am going to be slapped with a substance abuse disorder? Lose my job and income? They really don’t care if you have a family to support or anything ?
