Topic: The Club House / In hiring process please help!

Hey guys I’m new to this forum but I’m hoping someone might have an answer for me. So I just recently passed the PT test (first step) and am currently going through the whole hiring process. This Monday I’m going in for orientation and a tour of the jail. Heres my question: I had serious shoulder surgery twice back in 2006 and developed a dependency for pain killers. To make a long story short, I got clean and have been taking Suboxone (doctors prescription) for about 3 years. It is a small dose, but nonetheless it is a controlled substance. On my application I listed it under current medications that I’m taking because I figured I should be up front with them about it. I understand that they can’t legally not hire me because of this, but maybe they’ll give another reason. I think I’m really qualified for the job…I speak 3 languages, have my license to carry, and completely clean record, so maybe the suboxone will be overlooked? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
