Hi, I am a heath care professional. I self reported for opioids in Aug 2019. I spent 10 days in detox and 12 weeks inpatient rehab. I passed weekly urine and 4 hair tests for alcohol and drugs plus metabolites. I have severe degenerative back disease and I have had lumbar fusion at L3-L4. I am required to have urine and Peth tests via the USDL lab in Illinois. My very first Peth was positive with a level of 80ng. I was told I have been drinking 2 glasses of wine with dinner for 2 weeks Or 2 binge days. I Don’t Drink!! I never have!! I was told I could have a B sample tested in Texas for $250.00. I told them No. This is all about $$$. I told my board to keep my license. I’ll find something else to do. I’m another single voice trying to contest the results with no hope. Thanks for this thread.

Wow. I’d love to know some more details. I’m collecting enough info to start seeing patterns. I sent you a private message. Thanks!
