Hey everyone, I completed my contract about a week ago. It was a 2 year contract. I told myself when I finished that I would do my best to try and help others feel less afraid/overwhelmed since that's how I felt, especially in the beginning. If ...

Yea, there's people I have read in these forums, myself and people in my previous group that LEGIT shouldn't be in monitoring at all. It's honestly insane. Crazy enough I actually did benefit from the program just as a person. Part of my contact was ...

It was definitely on my list of "over the counter meds that you shouldn't take and if you do you should get permission". I would do whatever you are comfortable with... I will say this, I don't believe I should have ever been in the program to begin ...

Yea I made a post today about being free. I have a surprising amount of anxiety because I constantly feel like I'm forgetting something important. Very uptight and on edge. That's interesting that they did your hair test now. Mine was almost at exact...

Hey there, I'm not in the same state as you but I finished my 2 year contract last week. I finished on the EXACT day I signed the contract 2 years ago. Others in my group got out 4-5 days early but that's the earliest I saw. About a month out I...

I'm not sure how much help this is, but when I was in a program there were several people in my group who were doing their second round of monitoring after completing the program.... Relapsing and getting referred again. If it were me, I would do wha...

I believe it's because I do not actually have an addiction issue. No history of drug use, not even weed when I was younger. I might drink around Christmas or at a concert otherwise I don't do that either. I had 0.5mg Xanax RX that I have as needed. I...

Admit nothing until the test comes back and you know if it's positive or not. If it's not positive, take that as a lesson, you do not want to be in the program longer than you have to be. Reach out to people in your groups or attend more meetin...

Hey OP, I agree with what Universe said. I just finished my contract last week but when it comes to accidental exposures— the ONLY time I have heard about someone screwing up was when they at a cake at Christmas that was rum cake. They did not get in...

I took a medication from an expired prescription, it was my own RX .... Ended up having a new onset seizure at work (unrelated to the RX I took)…. Got drug tested by my employer and fired due to it being positive for a schedule 2 drug..... even thoug...

Hey there, My 2 year make is in 3 days, which would be my contract end date. I'll give you some info whenever it gets here. So far I have had extra drug tests about a month out hair, special blood (not a peth something else) through a different ...

Hey there, I'm not sure about CA but here in FL. They can make exceptions if you are stable on a controlled medication and it's not your drug of choice. It's a whole process with your prescribing doctor but it can be done. people in my grou...

Someone in my group is in pharmacy school, their test in pharmacy school was positive and that's why they have a contract. They aren't even a licensed pharmacist yet

I have 20 days left of my 2 year contract, I can't wait to be where you are !

Just sharing my experience.... I did not have to do rehab at all, my contract is 2 years. (I have 23 days left) I was able to work after I took a substance abuse course that's a few hours, then I was able to work.

My eval was in person, had a urine and a hair test at eval. I took an expired RX of mine a day or 2 before then had a medical emergency at work. I was recommended a 2 yr contract. No rehab of any sort for me. If you have any questions let me know.

They do stand to make money from an unfavorable eval.... But this is the only way. You can spend money and try to fight it but most of the time nothing happens and you're right back to where you started. There's people in my group that literally sho...

Hey y'all, I currently have 4 months left of my 2 year contract. I got selected 9/19 for a U drug screen (737675) and I completed it the same day. While at the lab the guy did have some computer issues- but I signed and initialed, got my form a...

I called the testing manager for my program, she said that she sees the COC number in the system, so I'm all good on their end. I guess they just didn't mail it out as fast or something random I'm not sure? Usually urines are back in 2 days... so it'...

I'm in a different state but someone in my peer group has had like 6 dilutes in 2 years. Nothing has happened to her, they just counsel her and she's had to get extra tests.

Most people will say a lawyer won't do much or anything at all. However I had a very expensive, well known lawyer on my case. I took some expired RXs. Everyone in my group has a contract of 5+ years, had to do IOP or IP etc. My contract is 2 years an...

Hey, I am in FL monitoring. I will gladly give you any info that you want if you want to send me your email. I was TERRIFIED... when I started 1 year ago. But I have 1 year left. It's been easy peasy for me and my experience has been pretty smooth fo...

Hey everyone, I am in my 2nd year of a 2 year contract. This is my first time filing taxes. I was wondering if you guys deduct the costs of the program as a work related expense? I know some people have and I just wanted to ask and see what you ...
