I've called the number listed for the state at least a dozen times in the past few days, and it always just says that their operators are busy due to an unussually high call volume. Doesn't give me the option to wait or anything. My class is Jan 3rd and i don't want to waste my money if I'm going to be denied because i can hardly afford it as is. I just think the term chemically dependant is a nonsense blanket coverall. It doesn't have to be drugs for someone to be chemically dependant. Cardiac meds, depression meds, asthma meds. You can become chemically dependant on all of them. Whereas it's basically impossible for someone to be chemically dependant on pot which in Texas they'd have to be buying illegally, but no worries for them here's your chl. This process is just really frustrating.

I would in no way consider suboxone to be mind altering to an opiods tolerant person. I get very sick with withdraw if i don't take it, but nothing happens if i do. I guess thats kinda the point however if someone who wasn't used to megadoses of pain meds took it they'd probably be high as a kite. It only acts partially on the mu receptors in the brain creating the relief from with withdraw but not medalist necessarily the intoxicating effects, but dosage parameters being where they are in somone like me all i do is not get sick while i continue to reverse titrate the dose. However with 1mg roughly equally to 40mg of morphine, ANYONE who isn't used to it will most likely spend the next 12 hours puking.

Ok thanks for the help guys I'll try to get ahold of someone with dps. Is there a specific number to call or anything?

So is the LTC additional paperwork, or are you advising since I don't meet the state requirement add chemically dependent i should leave it off the application.

Hello new to the board. I just have a question before i spend my 140 bucks. In regard to being chemically dependant, well I am. I was prescribed pain meds for a long time for various injuries and a surgery. I switched willingly off my pain meds to suboxone a maintenance and detox drug from opiods. I have broken no laws and have no convictions or arrest. Would i be donating my 140 dollars to the state or will i be able to get through?
