Southworth Associates has specialized in protecting the public from unsafe practice by impaired professionals while assisting the professional to seek the help they need for their addiction. Since its founding in 1998, Southworth Associates has been a resource for licensed professionals, their families, colleagues, and other professional affiliates. Southworth Associates works in a manner consistent with the laws and medical practice acts of the State of Idaho to provide a safe environment in a medical setting and in conjunction with the appropriate State Medical Association. Through our affiliation with the Federation of State Physician Health Programs, we can also provide services to professionals not licensed locally.
Southworth Associates will assist professionals and their families in identifying alcohol, drug, or behavioral problems that pose a potential threat to that professional, the family, or the patients/clients. Southworth Associates will work to identify and facilitate acute treatment and to provide long-term support for the professional to return to a productive place within his/her profession. While the program provides no direct counseling, treatment, or aftercare services, it does support and endorse the development of self-help groups at the local level.
Southworth Associates is a proud member of both the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS) and the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP).
