Meaning that you abused substances and then were hired? That while working you began a habit? Not sure what you mean but oftentimes your licensure will be impacted. Further, you may be subject to surprise drug tests.
So not sure what you are exactly looking for but check with your specific licensing board and the Maryland Dept of labor.
