Ooof this is a big concern for me as well. I’m in austin and am hoping that HRs don’t ruin a perfectly good interview and initial offer.

Which company do you test through? MedTox/Labcorp/ quest/ etc?

I prefer to use the term “dx with Substance Use Disorder” (the actual medical and diagnostic term) or “ am in verifiable recovery from Substance Use Disorder”. the more evidenced based, using evidenced based and up to date terminology allows us ...

I have a neurogenic bladder and hence I need to self catch. Practically by default I have UTI very frequently. My urine CX often comes up + for nitrates. I’ve never had an issue testing. Perhaps the level was outrageous?? See if you can get a law...

Yes, absolutely.

So, some places have HR policies that you must disclose if you’re having a “personal/intimate” relationship with a coworker. If the doc is a actual EMPLOYEE of the hospital, VS contracted/consultation privileges, that could make the difference. Add...

It matters specifically related to the state you are licensed in/where you are applying for employment. You must look at what your order states- does it say something in regards to notifying employers while ON probation or does it say notifying to a...

Following. Many of us who will come out the other side of monitoring are interested to know as well. is there anyway you could ask your professors/deans about quality/reputable high risk student malpractice ins? Even if you need to ask ...

Following- curious to hear others’ responses.

I’m a bit confused...are you in a monitoring/alternative to discipline program through your state? Bc if so, across the board, there is a zero tolerance for alcohol policy, regardless of your substance of choice. If you are in monitoring (since pre...

It’s been a few months now...I hope you are well, physically, mentally, financially! What was the outcome after speaking with the MRO and your monitoring program?

I’m in Texas and unfamiliar with this new legislation you speak about re: removed/expunged....can you link this info or share where you got this? I know a lot of us would be interested in finding out about this. im not familiar with Michi...

What are you referring to when you say “contracts of this kind”? How do you anticipate this dx changing how contracts are stipulated? TPAPN has recently *tried* pretty hard to move in the direction of the medical model of SUD treatment and adju...

WOW! I’m in Texas and as far as I know, this is not the case down here. What state are you speaking of?

I never knew SSDI was an option! Thank you so much for clearing this up. I’m in Texas and will be looking into this

Hmm, my biggest question I think is we’re you caught/ witnessed by an employee or person in charge? If not, I would consider yourself very lucky (the house always wins, remember that....if you aren’t caught this time, just give it a bit and it will ...

That depends- what is the lab you use?

One of the threads I saw on this topic was a while ago, so lets get an update. I just got sclerotherapy for some spider veins and varicose veins (im only 25, so they weren't too bad yet, nothing "bulging" but they were pretty visible), and have been ...

I wish anyone worth recent (2017-current) experiences would respond. I live in the Austin area and don’t want to be railroaded, financially

I think that since some addict use Benadryl for synergistic effects with other narcotics and because it can be used to alleviate symptoms of current use( itchiness, water eyes, sniffling, insomnia) that it has been looped in. Or someone claiming whe...

For what it's worth, I took topamax During recovery from my eating disorder and coincidentally had no headaches. I actually was placed back on it for a couple months because I was getting migraines super bad. They were also related to stress. It h...

God willing, any day or week now I will be granted the gift of TPAPN...I say gift because at the core of the program ( specifically: Eval, treatment, meetings, sponsor, objective and random drug testing) are supportive of a strong recovery program an...

Why did they ask you to give a UDS? Was it for cause (suspicion of being altered, abnormal narc pulling or narcs don't add up, etc)? Or does your facility perform totally random checks? It was a poor choice to refuse. Period. Your next best bet is...

Hmm.... well I speak from personal experience. I was reported to the BON for suspicion of misappropriating RXs (they were right) but shockingly did not have a + UDS. ( I think I hadn't fully metabolized it. Had they of done a blood test, I would've...

I am a klutz. The 10% of he time I wear something white, there is a 50% chance I will spill something obvious. I feel you. However, just as if a cop pulled you over- a refusal to blow= automatic DUI + loss of driving privileges for 1 yr. The sole f...
