The Professional Recovery Network of Texas

TBVME partners with the Professional Recovery Network to provide support to veterinary professionals with substance abuse or mental health challenges. The Professional Recovery Network is a nationally recognized peer assistance program dedicated to helping health care professionals enter a safe, healthy recovery. The program has served over 1,500 healthcare professionals since it was established by the Texas Pharmacy Association in 1981. PRN’s professionally licensed and trained staff helps identify, assist, support, and monitor Texas licensed veterinarians with a potential impairment due to substance use or mental illness.  PRN adheres to a dual philosophy that provides an opportunity for confidential recovery while protecting the public from unsafe professional practice. We believe that professionals who have a substance use disorder or mental health problem should be offered the chance to enter recovery and confront their problems before having disciplinary action taken against their licenses. We accept self-referrals as well as referrals from any concerned third parties. All referral sources are kept strictly confidential. PRN staff additionally offers advocacy for program participants.
