What is the first step, and how does advocacy work?
Screening
The first step is a confidential, no-cost, consultation. An informal screening is done to determine the best course of action.
Treatment
The action may include recommendations to attend professional educational courses, a formal evaluation from an outside service provider, treatment at a center with professionals track program, or regular meetings with MPHP+ case managers and psychotherapy/psychiatric visits.
Monitoring
Monitoring occurs when an assessment indicates that a healthcare professional is experiencing an illness that could benefit from long-term, ongoing, and therapeutic support. MPHP+ provides oversight of treatment progress and aftercare programs, it is critical to the participant’s success. Standard monitoring length can be from one to five years. It is dependent upon individual needs.

Advocacy
Advocacy is on-going support for you. We remain available to you throughout the monitoring process. You are not alone. We are independent of licensure agencies such as the Board of Healing Arts and the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. We do have a strong working relationship with them. We attend appearances with you and write various times of letters on your behalf. MPHP+ is strictly confidential, any disclosure by the MPHP+ requires the participants written permission.
