Health Professionals Recovery Program

[Health Professionals Recovery Program]

Dear Licensee,

The Board would like to inform you of a resource that has recently become available to you. When the Board became part of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), they chose to join other licensing boards in offering the Health Professional Recovery Program. This program was created to assist medical and behavioral health professionals struggling with mental health or substance abuse.

DOPL offers a confidential, non-disciplinary program. The goal of the Health Professional Recovery Program is to assist professionals and their families in identifying substance use disorders that may be a potential threat to the individual. The program aims to lessen the negative impacts on individuals and their careers. Research shows that disciplinary actions don't necessarily intervene in the progression of addiction. However, individualized addiction treatment can be an effective method of treatment for medical and behavioral health professionals and society at large.

Do you or does someone else you know feel stuck in the cycle of addiction?

Do you know someone in the behavioral health community struggling who needs help?

You can choose the direction you are headed and get help addressing substance use or mental health. If you answered yes to any of the questions above, let us help you preserve your license and start the road to recovery.

For further information about this program, contact me.
