Utah Professionals Health Program (UPHP)
Welcome!
The Utah Professionals Health Program (UPHP) is a confidential health program provided by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) to assist licensed healthcare professionals whose ability to practice may be impaired due to a substance use disorder.
UPHP does not provide treatment, rather it serves to promote the health and well being of licensed healthcare professionals through coordination of assessment, treatment placement, and long term aftercare monitoring. We currently provide services to Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Pharmacists, Veterinarians, Podiatrists, Dentists and Dental Hygienists licesed by DOPL.
