Oregon physicians who receive a DUII may want to consider contacting the Board of Medical Examiners' Health Professionals Program (HPP). The mission of the HPP is to protect public health through maintenance of the health of licensees of the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners. HPP services include confidential consultation, intervention, assessment, referral, recovery monitoring, and relapse management. HPP will facilitate the intervention for individuals identified with possible substance use disorder, conduct an initial assessment and refer for a multi-disciplinary evaluation and/or treatment as recommended.
Once a licensee diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder has completed a primary phase of treatment, an HPP agreement for continuing care monitoring is implemented. Standard monitoring lasts a minimum of five years and includes an individualized plan of therapeutic recovery activities as well as random urine toxicology screening. Evidence of recovery is obtained through behavioral observations, evidence of healthy choices, and active participation in recovery activities. Participants will be drug tested.
