The impaired physician, Part II: Missouri State Physicians Health Program.
Missouri Physicians Health Program (MPHP) was established to help impaired physicians return to healthy personal and professional lives. One percent of Missouri physicians will suffer some sort of impairment; ie: substance abuse, or dependency of drugs or alcohol within a year. This is a confidential voluntary program. This program of early referral, intervention, treatment and monitoring advocacy has been highly successful. The average recovery rate in this study of 75 participants was 92%.
