If it's not too much to ask, how much did your IOP treatment cost you?

Okay I know everyone is going to tell me not to do this. Also, I have spoke to a license lawyer. I am just trying to gain more incite. For anyone who surrendered their license, at what point in the investigation did you do this? I just received the AG letter for my complaint and I am wondering if I called and surrender my license now if I could just be done with this and focus on my recovery. The lovely people at my states peer program said I wouldn't be able to afford their services and honestly their requirements are not what I need to fix myself right now. I am willing to throw away my license and get my life back, I am just trying to get the board off of me asap. Anyone?

so long story short, I was called to HR to discuss narcotics withdraw and ended up just confessed my sins. I was given the ability to resign so i did. i was also given the information on my states assistance program. I contacted them and they said i needed to talk to the board before they would proceed since I didn't have an income from a job or insurance to pay them. My questions: has anyone gotten another job before enrolling in the program? I have read a lot of posts on here and I know a lot of people aren't working also but enrolled in the program. should I try to find a recovery friendly job before the board gets to my case? I received the, "youre being investigated" letter today from the attorney general. Should I reply with my side of the story or have I already shot myself in the foot enough?

No I didn't sign anything, nor was I asked to take a test. They didn't involve the police but they did say they were mandated to report the loss to the DEA.

So here I am, one week out from flipping my entire world upside down, still having that heart sink feeling whenever a car drives by. Last week I confessed to diveriting narcotics on 3 occasions to my employer. I figured that I would lose my job and I knew I would probably be reported to the BON, but now I am reading about the criminal FELONY charges faced by others who have done this. I wanted to get help, but now I am afraid to spend the money on the program because I might need to fight a legal battle first. I am living in this constant anxiety ridden state, thinking any minute now black SUVs are going to come haul me away and lock me up. I am not looking for legal advice, but maybe just some of your stories? Has anyone not face criminal charges after admitting to diversion? If you did receive charges, what happened? I have no idea what to even expect at this point.
