Indiana Professionals Recovery Program

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.
