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.

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.

How Will I Be Able to Find Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Montville, New Jersey?

Question by carlee 3xf: How will I be able to find substance abuse treatment centers in Montville, New Jersey?
Ever since her father died, my friend just sort of threw her life away. She began taking drugs and hanging out with people that she never would have hung out with before. I was surprised to hear her voice on the phone last night. She told me she dreamt about her dad and that her dad wants her to go back to how she once was. I think that got her to think about getting herself treated. I told her I’d help her find a treatment center.

Inpatient Drug Rehab in NYC/5 Boroughs?

Question by jej: Inpatient drug rehab in NYC/5 boroughs?
I have a friend who is ready to check into a rehab for his drug addiction, however, he is on methadone maintenance and does not want to quit it. I was told by a rehab center in NYC that no New York state inpatient program will accept a methadone patient if they are on more than 40 milligrams, then a mental health clinician told me that is not true. Does anyone know of an inpatient program in the 5 boroughs or Westchester County NY that will allow him to be maintained on methadone? I googled but could not find much. Thanks.

How Is It That Abortion Is Not Considered Neglect, Child Abuse and So Forth by Some?

Question by williambradle: How is it that abortion is not considered neglect, child abuse and so forth by some?
and even if you say these are not humans which they are what else would they be I can still assure you that most women that have abortion don’t read scientific journals about early life and science so they could care less if it was or was not which is just as outrageous! If you don’t agree with me here then I would also like to make the argument that having sex and getting pregnant unplanned is a form of neglect and irresponsibility like driving while your drunk or something, so point is this is a huge form of child abuse is that not undeniable?
