The chairman will then submit a written report to the State Board of Pharmacy, IPP Liaison, a copy of which will be sent to the individual with a cover letter stating WPRN's intention to continue to be available for appropriate support, if requested. In all cases, the earlier the problem is identified, the sooner help can be made available and treatment received. This is critical to the individual's well being. Fellow professionals and students will be integral for a successful recovery. If the individual requests, WPRN may act as an advocate for that individual, after reviewing results of the treatment and rehabilitation, verifying AA attendance, verifying documented visits to counselors and assessing the family recovery as a whole.
Appropriate aftercare is required.
An assessment of the work environment is essential and the support team may request a visit with the employer to assist the re-entry process. For the benefit of both employer and employee, it is essential that the work environment is safe and controlled and adequate safe-guard be taken to insure long term, quality recovery. Clearly defined guidelines will be determined by the employer and clearly presented to the employee. Many of these requirements will be outlined in either the IPP voluntary guidelines or the Board mandated license stipulation. If requested, the support team will assist in developing, presenting, implementing and monitoring these guidelines.
