Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I was forced to another state. Oregon. And it was an easy deal. A pharmacist ran the whole program and he was in recovery. The Oregon Bop has a mandate though. Anyone who comes from CA with an unclear license,must enter into at least 5 years of probation because CA refuses to send records of programs or rehab or urines or anything to confirm what is stated by the licensee. I finished 3 years of probation there, but, I came back to finish in California because Oregon will count my time on probation here, where California doesn't give me any credit for Oregon. I was urine tested, filled out monthly reports, had a contract...ect. And I was in perfect compliance in Oregon. To no avail in California. Now I can't go to any state until I finish my probation in at least one state. I also came back to California because I was born and raised here and all my family is here. I couldn't wait to get back. Maybe it's not worth it all. The fees in Oregon to participate were $233.00/month and that was for the urines. Here I pay about $900.00/month. I guess it's an oxymoron on where I should be. But, I want my license here (CA) cleared!! > > It would seem that other states are more reasoned when it comes to etg. > My state conforms to the SAMSHA advisory and I was allowed to graduate > despite 4 positives.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Merrill, California living can be incredibly expensive. As for state health programs, of course there is Medi-Calhttp://www.medi-cal.org/ and State Disability (limited time) http://www.edd.ca.gov/direp/diind.htm and the Genetically Handicapped Persons Program http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ghpp/Pages/default.aspx there are also MDA clinics here.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Yes it is very expensive here in LA. Not all of CA is like this but here it is. I believe LA is the 2nd most expensive city to live in the country right now. I know my wife and I struggle on a $60k a year income. Ron Quote
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Ron, 60K is a struggle for two? Wow. I live on less than $20K for two. LA must be very expensive! Dawn Quote
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 It is, for example we live in a one bedroom condo. The last one in our building sold at $215,000. In other parts of the country I could buy a 4 bed/3 bath house for the same price. Quote
