What PEER™ Program Completers had to say:

"We at Community Bridges were thrilled to be the first PHP to go through the PEER accreditation process.  It helped us firm up our polices and program practices.  It gives us increased credibility with the Arizona Medical Board and the other regulatory agencies we work with in AZ.   The surveyor was thoroughly professional and helpful throughout the process.  I would highly recommend any and all PHP programs to go through the accreditation process.  It is undoubtedly the industry standard and enhances our standing significantly."  Michel Sucher, Community Bridges Inc, Professional Medical Monitoring Program 

“Great experience. Led to improvements in our program and reassurances where we were doing well” – Dr. Angela Gough, Pu'ulu Lapa'au: The Hawaii Program for Healthcare Professionals

It was a great experience. We were able to go through our program with a fine-tooth comb and make improvement. I highly recommend others participate.” - Heather Wilson  Pennsylvania Physicians’ Health Program 

"The FSPHP Performance Enhancement and Effectiveness Review (PEER) was a turning point for our young program. It provided the external validation we needed to strengthen credibility and defensibility in our clinical decisions. It brought the attention necessary for our program’s policies and procedures to be approved. The PEER process affirmed our progress, supported key operational decisions—such as transitioning monitoring of disciplinary cases to our PHP—and, most importantly, offered an invaluable confirmation of how far we had come in just four years, giving us a clear roadmap for continued improvement.”  Kelli Jacobsen,MSW, LCSW,  Program Manager, Utah Professionals Health Program

I salute -- and thank -- the FSPHP for this new effort. The five decades old PHP movement has a lot to teach the entire addiction treatment field in how to make lasting Recovery the expected outcome of addiction treatment rather than relapse to drug use as is now the universal reality. It is a paradigm shift and an inspiration.”   Bob DuPont, MD
