Drug Rehabs California: Drug Rehab Program for Doctors in California to Be Cancelled
In 1980, a special program was developed for doctors with drug and alcohol abuse problems. The program allows doctors to continue practicing while undergoing alcohol or drug rehab. However, according to the Medical Board of California (MBC), five status reports on the program have proven it to be inefficient and dangerous to patients. The MBC has decided to cancel the program as of next June. Unless the program is extended by legislation, doctors with alcohol and drug abuse problems may then have their licenses revoked with zero tolerance. Doctors abusing drugs or alcohol would be wise to take a leave of absence and get into a successful alcohol or drug rehab program rather than take that risk.
