The Indiana Professionals Recovery Program (IPRP) is a state-wide monitoring program dedicated to supporting healthcare professionals, such as nurses and pharmacists, who are struggling with substance use disorders, including drug or alcohol addiction.
With a mission to provide a remarkable recovery experience through comprehensive monitoring, guidance, support, and accountability, IPRP aims to protect the health, safety, and welfare of patients while helping impaired professionals overcome their addiction and return to safe, effective practice.
Formerly known as ISNAP, the program offers two admission pathways—voluntary for proactive self-reporting with enhanced confidentiality and advocacy, and mandatory for regulatory referrals from boards or agencies—ensuring transparency and compliance as needed.
IPRP's evidence-based approach includes initial evaluations, intake assessments, personalized Recovery Monitoring Agreements, random drug testing, behavioral health counseling, and long-term aftercare, all led by a multidisciplinary team of experts in addiction medicine, counseling, and healthcare policy.
By fostering sustained sobriety and personal wellness, IPRP enables participants to salvage their careers, retain highly skilled providers in the profession, and achieve success rates as high as 80-87% in recovery, ultimately promoting competent patient care and community safety across Indiana.

What we treat

Treatment & Programs

Levels of Care

The Indiana Professionals Recovery Program operates a comprehensive monitoring continuum rather than a traditional treatment facility. The process begins with an intake assessment and moves into the implementation of a personalized Recovery Monitoring Agreement to guide professionals safely back into practice.

Therapies

Guided by the latest addiction medicine protocols, case managers coordinate a mix of mandatory evidence-based oversight and continuing care. Participants actively engage in random drug testing and behavioral health counseling designed to support sustained sobriety and successful workplace reentry.

Addictions

IPRP addresses substance use disorders that specifically impact the healthcare community, including alcohol and prescription drug addiction. Case managers understand the unique hazards of the medical workplace, frequently assisting providers who misuse diverted medications or everyday drugs to cope with extreme job stress.

Alcohol Use Disorder Prescription Drug Misuse

Conditions

While primarily structured around substance use supervision, the clinical case management team understands that robust mental health support is critical to lasting recovery. Program leadership holds extensive experience in identifying and navigating co-occurring trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to ensure holistic assessment.

Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD)

Issues

This alternative-to-discipline program addresses complex career and legal issues, ranging from suspected diversion and workplace impairment to official attorney general investigations. Navigating both proactive and court-ordered paths, case managers work directly with the Board of Nursing and the Board of Pharmacy to salvage careers while ensuring public safety.

Career Issues Court-Ordered/Justice-Involved

Programs

IPRP operates two major tracks specifically designed to function as an alternative to disciplinary action. The Voluntary Admission pathway invites proactive self-reporting with maximum confidentiality, while the Mandatory Admission route fulfills strict regulatory requirements for professionals referred by state licensing boards.
