Summertime Fun and Travel Plans

Traveling this summer? Plan ahead by using the app to identify nearby collection sites in the zip code you will be traveling too! Also please remember that we require two weeks’ notice of travel plans when requesting to use exemption days.  Although e-chains are widely accepted, we cannot guarantee all sites will use them so, please remember to carry your paper chain of custody forms with you on your travels, just in case! Ask your Agreement Monitor to chat with you about our exemption guideline and your eligibility!

Speaking of Travel Plans - Upcoming Exemption Dates

• Juneteenth: Friday, June 19, 2026

• Independence Day: Friday, July 3, 2026

• Labor Day: Monday, September 7, 2026

One More Caveat to Testing

We highly suggest that you call your testing site early in the day to verify the hours of operations every day you are required to test.  Especially during the summer months, many testing sites’ hours of operation are changing. Verifying the hours will help to ensure that you do not miss a test and consequently be reported to your respective board for Non-Compliance.

Satisfaction Survey

Your opinion matters!  In order to ensure that our program is helpful to you and others, we ask for your feedback once a year.  If you were enrolled prior to March 2026, you will receive an email with a link to our satisfaction survey. Please complete this brief survey by Monday, July 20, 2026, so that your response can be considered. It only requires 2 to 3 minutes to complete. Completing the survey is voluntary and all responses are anonymous. If you do not have the link to the survey and have been enrolled for at least 4 months, please contact your agreement monitor.

Recovery Trek/Program Reminder

If you miss a scheduled test, please remember to notify your Agreement Monitor right away as well as respond to Recovery Trek immediately when they request confirmation of testing. Reminder: It is always a good idea to take a photo of your CCF (if in paper form) and keep for your own records following a completed test.

Title: Embodied Healing for Families Experiencing Grief from Addiction

July 10, 2026 | 12:00-1: 00pm ET

Description: Recovery is often framed as healing, progress, or a return to stability. But for many individuals, couples, and families, recovery is not a return—it is a profound disruption. It is the loss of a system that once existed, even if that system was painful or unsustainable. This workshop explores recovery as a grief process that lives in the body, integrating the science of grief, polyvagal theory, and the Window of Tolerance (Window of Peace) to understand why recovery initially destabilizes the nervous system before it heals. Participants will examine how identity, roles, and relational dynamics shift through phases of destabilization, disorientation, and reorganization. Through a somatic lens, we will explore how the nervous system responds to these changes, why relief and grief coexist, and how breaking patterns can feel like losing parts of oneself.
