What is the Georgia Professional Health Program?
The Georgia Professional Health Program (GAPHP) is an independent 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization that assists medical professionals with recovery from substance use disorder, mental
health challenges and other conditions that could impair a clinician’s ability to safely care for their
patients. GAPHP’s rehabilitation programs are non-disciplinary and entirely confidential. For more

What services does GAPHP provide?
GAPHP provides intake, assessment, referral and long-term management of physicians, physician
assistants, respiratory therapists, and veterinarians with substance use disorders and other mental
health/behavioral conditions. GAPHP is most known for treating alcohol and substance use
disorders, however, the program also assists with a wide range of behavioral and mental health
challenges including burnout and depression. The program strives to return participants back to a
life of wellness and recovery and are available 24/7.

What are the outcomes?
The goal of these services is to get participants back on track and return safely to practice. GAPHP
uses the data collected from the participant’s involvement and progress in the program to support
their return to the workplace, hospital credentialing, and to various licensure, insurance or
credentialing boards.
Is my enrollment confidential?
Yes. Enrollment in GAPHP programs can be done completely in private. Medical professionals self-refer
anonymously for help without the Board being aware of your identity. Self-referrals are
recommended, as they demonstrate a proactive approach to address potential issues before
patient care is impacted. If you are thinking about self-referral, you can learn more here.
