The
Pharmacists Rehabilitation Organization, Inc.
was
Founded in 1984 by the
Ohio Pharmacists Association and the Ohio Society of Health-System
Pharmacists,
with the help and understanding of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy.
Our mission:
1) To educate and inform the profession of pharmacy concerning chemical
dependency
as a treatable disease that affects from
10 - 15% of it’s members.
2) To help addicted
pharmacists find recovery from their active disease.
The Pharmacists
Rehabilitation Organization (P.R.O., Inc.) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit and
volunteer peer
assistance organization, that helps assess, refer to treatment and monitor
pharmacists (and licensed pharmacy
interns) with alcohol and/or drug dependencies. When deemed appropriate,
P.R.O. Inc. may also advocate
for the contracted client to a regulatory agency such as The Ohio State
Board of Pharmacy.
ORGANIZATION’S BASIC
BELIEFS:
• We
recognizes that chemical dependency is a primary disease that is chronic,
progressive
and potentially fatal and affects approximately
10 - 15% of all pharmacists.
• We regard chemical dependency as a treatable disease and recognizes the
right of our
recovering colleague to return to the safe practice of Pharmacy
when
appropriate.
• Our primary purpose is to assess, refer to proper treatment and monitor
our colleagues
impaired by the disease of chemical dependency.
• We will advocate for our clients when appropriate and will also help
coordinate
interventions of potential clients.
