Returning to work while In RAMP monitoring program

[Clara38]

I was forced to join the RAMP program after taking my prescription pain pills during and before work. I was determined to be under the influence. When this happened 7 months ago I thought my career was over. After getting over my grief and anger I opened my mind and heart and accepted treatment. I needed it. After working hard to stay clean by doing NA meetings, counseling and focusing on myself. I have reached the place in the program were I can return to work with some restrictions. I never thought I would ever get here. I'm a bit nervous about returning to work. I have to apply and I would like to know your experience with returning to work. Thank You so much

Thank you kindly for sharing...wow! SO if you have chronic pain or any pain for that matter that is managed with narcotics you have to suffer if want to work. I wish you the best and hang in there!

No, just don't take the stuff at work--only at home. And never allow yourself to drive if you're possibly impaired by your medication--yes, even if you have a script, you can still get a DUI if a cop thinks you're under the influence.
