So quick background. I was previously in my state's monitoring program (self referral) for a DUI, was sober for 3 years, successfully completed the program.
I have since relapsed on alcohol. However...no arrests, no work incidents, was never intoxicated/impaired on the job (I have a breathalyzer on my car, so for me to get to work and then go home at the end of the day my BAC has to be 0). I kept it self contained at home...but boy oh boy I've seen this movie before and know how it ends so I immediately slammed the breaks and trotted over to inpatient rehab before anything happened that could risk my license.
So I'm sitting here in rehab...thinking...because that's what we do...and the question popped in my head, "Do I have to report going to rehab to the BON?" I get having to report an arrest or something happening at work...but my situation doesn't have that. Has anyone dealt with a voluntarily/private rehab decision and whether or not to self report to the BON? I'm kinda confused. Thanks!
