Does anyone have experience with taking a vacation while in TPAPN? I have scoured the handbook and the Internet and can't find ANYTHING about it! I was invited on a cruise with some friends for later this year, 7 days to the Caribbean. I messaged my case manager yesterday but she hasn't responded yet. My advocate said she has never heard of it happening and was not sure if it was possible.
I really want to go! Anyone have any experience with leaving the country while in a monitoring program?
Oh, and I've been in TPAPN since Dec 2013, have already met the one year work requirement, and haven't had any positive drug screens.

I know that when I was in PNAP we had to make arrangements to find a test site wherever it was that were vacationing. We still had to call in every day.

Put in a request though Recovery Trek they will post if it's approved
I just saw that my case manager replied, the email notification went to my junk mail so I didn't see it until now. She said I can go =). And, yes, she also said I need to request it in recovery trek. There is also a FAQ about travel, I never even thought of looking at recovery trek for information! I guess I just thought all they did was handle my drug screenings.
No testing when out of the country, she said, but I'll be tested immediately upon return. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a hair test in the next months following it, either. But whatever! I'm so thrilled! Yay!
I try to handle most of my contact with case manager through Trek Mail because I have changed case managers 4 times and it keeps everything in writing
