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.

Best answer:

Answer by Mandy
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.
