Recovery program 3 years in one state, 5 years in another

I just wanted to add that I got a call from my CM in Texas and they reported to me that I am not allowed to work in the state of Louisiana for 2 additional years unless I join their monitoring program. Idk if it would just be for 2 years or if I would have to start from the beginning of a 5 year program. This could be an issue for me since I am fighting for custody of my child and might be forced to move back to Louisiana in order to have shared or sole custody. I have my opinion on the matter, but I think I will keep it to myself. All I can say is that I followed a very rigorous program in Texas for 3 years and had top-notch treatment so Idk why that's not good enough for Louisiana.

I would assume the only way Louisiana would honor TPAPN is if the guidelines from both states we're the same. I remember reading about someone who transferred to another state but the new state made them start over because their home state program didn't test for a specific drug that the new state did. It's all a bunch of horseshit. They can all go **** themselves

I would definitely check out a professional licensing lawyer. So many of these programs are so $$$$ driven that nobody cares how much you've done for one states program for how long, that if some way can be found to gouge a person for yet more money for more years for more pointless testing, they'll do it.

I was in a new state when i began the monitoring program for the state i lost my license in. I was in monitoring for 2 years when i was able to activate my licence in my new state. I had completed all of my requirements for the original state (except drug screens) including a year of individual and domestic violence counseling. I was forced to start over with a new agreement 5 years in length. When its all said and done i will have been in monitoring for 7 years with all neg. Drug screens. Its frustrating and expensive but if there is any chance of you going back figure it out now.

I'd consult a professional licensure attorney.

I have no idea what your personal situation is but I simply wouldn't work in Louisiana. Surely the great state of Texas offers enough employment opportunities to forego an additional two years of this non-sense. I'm a life-long Pittsburgh area guy and I'd move to Alaska to get out of this program. Good luck!!!

Not my style. Dark six months and cold. I'd rather be a poor nurse on a beach

What what! Alaska is awesome :)

So what was the outcome of switching programs ? I’m in the same boat except Im going from. Louisiana to Texas.
