If it's sexual misconduct, they go to sexual misconduct treatment centers. Some don't need to go into inpatient treatment but need counseling. We have counselors who are capable of handling physician personnel. While a physician is in treatment, we also try to make sure that his practice is covered by colleagues, friends and peers. The community is usually very supportive.
Patients are loyal to their physicians who go and get help.
Once rehabilitated, re-entry is a big chore. When a physician leaves the workplace, there may be hostility, anger, fear, a lot of other emotions. We respond by trying to offer a forum for the people who are angry at their physician. Once physicians finish with treatment, they enter an aftercare program. It's a widely dispersed, continuing-care monitoring and support system.
