Need Assistance?
A Program available to NC Veterinarians and RVTs suffering from chemical dependency or substance abuse.
​
Veterinary medicine is mentally and physically challenging! There are times that medications are needed for our aches and pains to get through our day. If there is ever a time where you or a co-worker uses medications or alcohol as a daily dependant, NCAVT and NCVMB are here for you. We save and heal many lives on a daily basis and it is easy to forget to save yourself or a co-worker.
"If you or someone you work with needs help
with chemical dependence or substance abuse,
please contact the
North Carolina Veterinary Health Program.
​
The call can remain anonymous.
You may be taking the first step in saving a
colleague's career, future, or your own."
