Testing schedule

Published

Hi guys , has anyone's testing slowed down after year one ? Last month, I had to speak up for myself because I was being tested 3 to 4 times a month and it was draining me ,  I spoke to my case manager and she said that she will speak to the members to have it slowed down after reviewing my my case,  I've made a year in jail with PRN which was October and I've noticed that now I have not been called for test since then my last test was October 5. My last test has anyone tested slow down after the first year for more than 30 days? Is this normal? I don't drink or put myself at risk at all I wanna be done but I'm just wondering .

Here's a quick update my test became infrequent because I was a student at the time when I got in the loop of PRN since then I failed my medical board exam and my training license has since expired It was actually expired for an additional three months while I was still testing and going to therapy with PRN. They were in the process of releasing me from the program, which is why my test became so less. It's been about two months since I've been out of PRN , they say that I have completed the program and I'm in compliance but I still feel very scared because I'm wondering even though they said no when I take my exam and I pass and I apply we just come back up I'm scheduled to take my medical exam again in the next couple of weeks so I guess I'll find out then.

Im my case I get tested twice a month. Usually the first week of the month and then on the 20th's (21st-28th)  On some occasions they have thrown a blood test in between,(more specialized and expensive testing), but when that happens that blood test is actually replacing an urine test  so it still 2 test in within that month.

Yes that's almost exactly how mine were going for almost a year. Then my last one, PeTh 5 weeks ago. It's just never been this long for me. I'm not complaining, LOL. Just wanted to see if it's the Norm to have it spaced out that much. I know it's random...
