“ Protecting patients, pharmacists and
families one day at a time ”
The West Virginia Pharmacist Recovery Network also known
as the WVPRN is a peer run, non-profit pharmacy (501c3) organization
dedicated to the identification, treatment, monitoring and support of
pharmacy personnel impaired by medications, alcohol or psychiatric
disorders.
The purpose of the WVPRN is to accomplish the
following:
 | Identify individuals who may be impaired by alcohol,
drugs or a psychiatric disorder before patients, pharmacist or families
are hurt and before the state Board of Pharmacy must intervene. |
| Evaluate the individual’s nature and severity of
impairment. |
| Provide complete confidentiality while
providing a contract, a treatment plan, and a monitoring plan. |
| Provide a support network to allow pharmacy personnel
to continue their career in pharmacy as much as possible. |
| Protect the public, family and friends from potential
dangers and the destruction of relationships that may occur when a
pharmacist is chemically or psychiatrically impaired. |
| Provide hope and assistance to any
pharmacy personnel in achieving a productive and successful recovery.
