Both programs facilitate prevention, identification, intervention, and rehabilitation for Idaho physicians physician assistants and Nurse Practitioners who have, or are at risk for developing disorders, which are associated with functional impairment, or suffering from chemical abuse or dependency, mental health issues, or behavioral problems.
