Entry into the Arkansas Pharmacy Support Group (ARPSG) may be on a voluntary basis by a pharmacy professional
(pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians) who seek assistance with their alcohol or other drug problems, or
by referral from the Board of Pharmacy after signing an Agreed Order. The Board appoints an Executive Committee of five
persons who are recovering pharmacists and this committee serves to organize and administer the program. The functions
of the committee include: 1) evaluation of pharmacists contacting the program; 2) review designation of treatment
facilities and services to which pharmacists in the program may be referred; 3) receipt and review of information relating
to the participation of pharmacists in the program; 4) assisting the pharmacists’ professional association in publicizing the
program; and 5) preparation of reports for the Board. The primary focus of the ARPSG is on helping the individual achieve
sobriety. Standard contracts are for 5 years. However, we have developed an Early Intervention Contract that runs one year
when the diagnosis is abuse rather than dependency. Additionally, recognizing that addiction is a disease of relapse, the
APRSG offers a 10 year and Lifetime contract.
