Found out the name of the lab that will be doing my testing. It's CRL, which stand for Clinical Reference Laboratory. Anyway, I was selected on my very second time to check in to submit a sample. I had to drive two hours away because it was a Saturday and the site where I can test in my town was closed. Anyway, I was selected for Option 4. Does anyone have any idea what's tested for with that one?

Thank you so much for your reply! I found out that the lab that they'll use for me is called CRL, which I've not ever heard of... Anyway, I've been using otc rogaine bc my hair has gotten really thin for some reason. It's actually been working and I've been so excited and happy about it. Now I'm afraid the little bit of alcohol in the foam will cause a false positive. I called to talk to the board lady today and she's like all haughty about it and saying "well, you entered into the two year agreement, so I guess it's up to you if you wanna take that chance." So frustrating!

Thank you for your reply! I have a question about the observed testing. Is that something I have to make sure the lab does beforehand? I just assumed any of the places FirstLab had on the list of test sites would do whatever FirstLab requires without me having to make sure of myself. Does FirstLab always use Quest for their specimen testing? For some reason I had thought they used Labcorp. Anyway, thank you so much for your help! Much appreciated!

Atmosphere, I'm the one you pm'd earlier. I have no way of pm'ing you back until I've made 15 posts. Anyway, I'm practically desperate to talk with you over what you said in your message to me. If you would, please pm me again and leave me your email address so that I can have a way to communicate with you. I'm truly needing your advice and knowledge regarding that subject.

I felt just like that and I started off in surgery. It is nothing like other departments and it's so fast paced. I felt like crying constantly, but I was determined to get through it!

Does anyone know what drug testing company FirstLab uses? I'm about to start my probation through the Arkansas BON. Thanks

Could you pm me your email address or a number I can reach you at? I can't message you back through here bc it won't let me since I haven't made 15 topic posts. I'd put my email on here but my name is in it.

Thank you for replying. I don't think it's a substance that will be tested for; however, I'm quite worried. I wish I could just quit it, but its been so helpful in keeping me from even letting an opiate craving thought into my mind.

I'm trying to get ahold of Atmosphere. The site won't allow me to pm you. I'd love to speak with you, though. Btw, I'm in Arkansas. Please comment here again or pm your email or something so we can talk privately.

Where could I find a list of substances, herbs, etc. to stay away from? Does anyone know if they test for Kratom? I've been using it to ward off opiate cravings until I can eventually quit the Kratom; however, I will be taking monthly tests very soon. Possibly next week and I would need to wean off the Kratom as I've learned even it causes withdrawals. I will be mortified and just devastated if I end up losing my license.
