Can You Become a Pharmacy Technician With a History of Substance Abuse?
Question by Jay: Can you become a pharmacy technician with a history of substance abuse?
Hi I admitted myself to inpatient rehab for opiate substance abuse 3 times in the last 2 years. From what I understand that information is confidential. I no longer use illicit substances. Can I become a certified pharmacy tech? I live in OK, USA.

On the pharmacy tech application, they ask if you habitually use alcohol, illegal or habit-forming drugs. Sounds like they ask if you currently use drugs. They ask you to complete an addendum with info about the situation. Do you think that you can handle working in this type of environment with your past history? I wouldn’t want to be tempted and just one slip up can be very bad.

Is There a Link Between Overprotective Parents and Substance Abuse?
Question by M.: Is there a link between overprotective parents and substance abuse?
Overprotective parents try and monitor all aspects of their children’s lives. But that’s not possible.
It would make sense that teenagers with overprotective parents would try to rebel when their parents aren’t around. A way of rebelling would be taking drugs and smoking and drinking.
Are there any statistics, reports, or studies anywhere that would suggest a link between overprotective parents and substance abuse? Thanks!

I have to do this because I’m writing a paper about prescription drug addiction. I figured it would be good to interview people who are dealing with this kind of thing on a daily basis.

Try looking for Narcotics Anonomus in your local area and i am sure that your local police station, university, or courthouse would have that kind of information because people who normally go are forced by the law.

Could I Get Out of Doing a 16 Week Drug Class by Goin to Rehab for 30 Days?
Question by : Could I get out of doing a 16 week drug class by goin to rehab for 30 days?
I’m on probation for possession of marijuana in VA; I was ordered to go to a treatment center to complete an assessment, and although I lied and made it seem like I wasn’t a heavy marijuana user, I was still ordered to complete a 16 week substance abuse class. We get tested weekly and our urine is sent to a lab. So not only can I not smoke pot, I also can’t even drink alcohol (which in my opinion is far worse than pot). I just had my 21st birthday a couple of months ago and I’m constantly being invited to bars, now that it’s legal for me to go. But “nope, sorry guys, I’m not allowed to drink”. I think it’s bullsh*t, because I was only busted with less than half a gram of bud, and I have to do 6 months of probation, color code, and now this damn class. I called the 24 hour hotline thru this treatment center, and explained to them that I was in a lot of emotional pain, and that I really just wanted to smoke to numb the pain. They really couldn’t offer me any advice other than suggesting I go to an in-patient rehabilitation center. I blew it off, because nothing is going to make me NOT want to smoke. However, after thinking it over some more after I got off the phone, I’m wondering if I could do this rehab thing, and then not have to complete my 16 week class and get off probation early. I’ve thought about how to talk to the substance abuse counselor about it, saying such things as “my issues go so much more personal than I’d like to discuss in group, and I feel as though this would be extremely beneficial for me”. But the last thing I’d want is to go to rehab for a flippin month, and then still have to do this class once I was released from rehab. But I’m not so sure how to bring that up to her, without sounding like I’m using the rehab idea so I can smoke sooner and get around doing this freakin class. I also wouldn’t mind a vacation from my life as it currently is, so I could use the rehab to get away from temptation. But I don’t want to tell her that either. Help?
