Once the Board Liaison determines eligibility, the credential holder must agree to an assessment for chemical dependency conducted by a qualified treatment provider. The results of the assessment are considered when setting requirements for participation. All boards utilize a variation of the following requirements. In most cases, practice supervision is also required. Other restrictions may be included if deemed necessary to protect the public.
Progress is monitored through quarterly reports from the treatment provider and practice supervisor.
Any apparent violation is to be reported immediately. In some cases of violation, the credential holder may be required to submit to additional requirements or work restrictions. In cases of serious or continuing violations, a referral to the Division of Enforcement and the regulatory board may be required which could lead to limitation, suspension or revocation of the professional's credential. The fact that a credential holder is participating in IPP is not routinely available as public information. Participation in IPP is voluntary for those credential holders who are deemed eligible.
