There is a lot of information in the recovery forum on this website about TPAPN. I suggest you look there for some answers.

I am completely ignorant of TPAPN, and have to go now look it up, but interested to see what others post. Good luck to you.
after reading more about that, I don't know that we can give any advice, but just wonder about your own options outside of that program. It is all outside of my realm and I don't know a thing about these resources, which I would imagine there must be ones similar to this one in every state. Good luck, again. I hope you find what you need.

I would say that you should ask a medical attorney what your rights are. I reported to TPAPN (while in the program for diversion) that I was having suicidal thoughts related to being un-employed and homeless. As a result, another year was added to my program for having a "relapse of the mind". I'm not joking. It was termed a "relapse of the mind" that put me at risk of using again. Be careful.
