Would love to pick your brain about IPRP. Will likely be getting a referral. Past DUI

Pick away! I'm very happy to help! I'm in for diversion but I'm sure requirements are basically the same.

When you go in for the initial evaluation is it someone at IPRP? And what does this entail. Based off the initial visit are you give a contract or do you have to see other professionals first. If you do have to see professionals before the contract, do they give you a list of the names. When doing the initial drug screen, do they do it in the office or do they send you to labcorps.

When I started it was still ISNAP so things might be different now. I first called ISNAP, answered a million questions then I was instructed to call ( I was given the number) and schedule a addiction assessment. I did that, she reported to my case manager and then I was offered the 3 year RMA. I was instructed to do a 12 week IOP and biweekly therapy sessions. I also have to attend 12 NA meetings a week and have quarterly assessment completed by my sponser and employer.

My first drug screen was 3 weeks after my RMA started and I went to my nearest Community occupation health clinic. I downloaded the affinity app so I get an alert every morning at 5am to check in and I can put in my address and it will pull up the nearest lab sites.

So you never had to go in to IPRP building? Did you get tested during the addiction assessment? Do most people get IOP?

And I'm assuming you had to pay for the addiction assessment and the IOP? Did IOP take a payment plan?

No, I've never been in the building, I've don't even know what my caseworker looks like. Yes, I was urine tested during assessment and it depends on your test results and what the addiction assessment says if you get IOP.

God yes I had to pay for everything! I went to a place off of 21st and Shadeland. I went there because it was based off income and I wasn't working at the time. I paided $28 each visit and I went 3x a week. Drug screens are $49 plus whatever the site you test at charges. I pay $73 each time.

Hi! I’m in IPRP too. I started about a year and a half ago when it was IPRP. You have to go to the building, no exceptions now. I was evaluated by my case manager, answered a series of multiple choice questions and explained my situation. They got back to me about a week later with my contract. I then had to have a negative UDS before I was able to sign the contract. I have heard others had to have hair, or blood on their initial, but I think that depends on your situation, and your case manager. I didn’t have to go to inpatient or IOP, and the assessment didn’t cost anything for me. I think that all depends on the assessment. I just had to have a psychiatric evaluation, which my insurance covered.

@Indiana awesome thanks. Where you able to start working after signing your contract?

Indiana · Sep 26, 2020

I was able to start working right away. Some I know had to wait until their therapist cleared them to work, and it took a while to get into a therapist. May want to start calling therapist around you, and have an appointment scheduled (it took my friend in the program 3 months to get into one), if you want the process to go quicker.

Are there certain therapists you have to use or can you pick your own? What are you in monitoring for if you don't mind me asking.

Also what are the terms of your contract?

My case manager let me pick from anyone. I’m in for diversion, but my case is complicated, as it was more of a psych issue than anything, which is why I wasn’t required to do inpatient or IOP.
