- Are you concerned about your own or a colleague's abuse or dependence on alcohol or other drugs?
- Have you had problems in your workplace that could affect your license to practice Pharmacy?

We offer the following services
General education, information resources, evaluation and assistance in the prevention and recognition of physical, emotional and psychological problems which could result in impaired practice from substance abuse, mental health problems, stress and related topics.
An alternative to the traditional disciplinary process for licensees experiencing impaired practice, the Pharmacy Peer Health Assistance Diversion Program alleviates the fear of probation, suspension or revocation in the mind of the licensee.
The Colorado Pharmacist Recovery Network is a voluntary group of concerned professionals and academic communities providing outreach and information.
