Reentry using naltrexone: one anesthesia department's experience.
The responsibilities of administrative managers may include dealing with the practitioner who is seeking to reenter the workplace while recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. The following article offers assistance when considering the development of a policy for reintroducing and monitoring these individuals in an anesthesia department. In this instance, naltrexone was found useful in facilitating reentry into anesthesia practice after inpatient treatment and while following a comprehensive aftercare program. The AANA Peer Assistance Advisors have compiled a model policy and reentry contract. For copies of policies, video resources, or other additional information, contact AANA staff member Susan Burger at (847) 692-7050, extension 3011.
