California LVN Diversion???

US

Recently had a LVN friend that reached out to me that was fired for testing positive for morphine when their job suspected they were under the influence. The admitted to me that they are seeking help but had diverted some medication they destroyed which was not mentioned during their firing. They know this will be reported to the board or else the facility faces a fine but they were telling me they don’t have a program like us RNs such as entering diversion voluntarily before being reported so it’s just a waiting game. Does anyone know if this is true or have any advice?
