Offering compassionate help to North Carolina's veterinarians and registered veterinary techs
NCPHP is the only organization in North Carolina for licensed veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians suffering from chemical dependency or substance abuse offering identification, intervention, and rehabilitation programs that are non-disciplinary and confidential in practice.
NCPHP can be differentiated from other programs for impairment because state and federal legislation provide or allow for:
- Confidentiality ensuring the practitioner’s identity is protected if client care has not been affected
- Advocacy for successful participants with the NC Veterinary Medical Board, insurance companies, employers, families, and others
- Leverage of the NC Veterinary Medical Board’s authority in licensing when the referred practitioner’s impairment is confirmed and their denial places them in imminent danger to themselves or their clients
- A monitoring process that contributes to the high recovery rate
- Financial assistance for indigent participants
