A Confidential Program for Chemically Impaired Professionals:

One out of every ten health care professionals experiences a problem with drugs or alcohol over the course of his/her career. All too frequently, chemical dependency jeopardizes the practices and licenses, and ultimately the public.

Fortunately, chemical dependency is treatable. Appropriate and effective treatment can save a professional's career, license, and even his/her life.
