Nebraska Licensee Assistance Program
Many health service professionals are at an increased risk for alcohol/drug abuse and addiction. Professional demands compounded by the unique aspects of practice-related factors can increase the chances that a professional will abuse alcohol or drugs.
If abuse is allowed to continue, many professionals may find themselves in the cycle of addiction, which can not only adversely affect their personal lives but can also jeopardize their careers.
Help Is Available
The Department of Administrative Services has contracted with Best Care Employee Assistance Program to provide the Nebraska Licensee Assistance Program (NE LAP) as a service benefit for Nebraska health service licensees, certificate holders and registrants.
A variety of professional alcohol/drug abuse and addiction assistance services have been made available specifically for health service professionals regulated by the state of Nebraska Department of Regulation and Licensure including:
- alcohol/drug assessments
- counseling sessions
- treatment referrals
- case management
- management consultations
- education programs
Confidential Assistance
A referral to the NE LAP is not the same as a report to the state Licensing Board. Individuals, employers and colleagues may be able to refer licensees to the NE LAP and access the services available prior to state involvement with licensure issues. Information made available to the NE LAP by the licensee can only be released with the licensee's written authorization.
In some cases, a report may need to be made to the state once it has been determined that continued practice would pose a danger to the public health and safety, or if the licensee fails to comply with his or her treatment plan.
For more information or to arrange a convenient appointment, call the NE LAP at (402) 354-8055 or (800) 851-2336; or e-mail NE LAP Coordinator, Judi Leibrock, MHR, LMHP, LADC, CPC, at judi.leibrock@bestcareeap.org
| This activity is supported, in whole or part, under contract with the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services from licensee/certificate holder/registrant fees paid to the Nebraska Department Health and Human Services Regulation and Licensure. |
