IPTPC

What is IPTPC?

In 2000, the Kentucky State Legislature established the Impaired Physical Therapy Practitioners Committee (IPTPC) to meet the needs of physical therapy practitioners whose ability to practice may be compromised by mental health, chemical dependency or abuse.

IPTPC recognizes that physical therapy practitioners are unique individuals who have dedicated their adult lives to helping others recover from physical impairments and injuries. We believe that no PT or PTA should lose a job or license due to substance abuse or mental health struggles.

IPTPC provides confidential, non-disciplinary support for physical therapy professionals facing substance use and mental health concerns. The program offers encouragement, treatment referral, and recovery support with compassion and dignity. The program emphasizes hope and is administered with compassion, concern, and with the dignity of the individual in mind.

​​Many practitioners hesitate to seek help or report concerns because of the stigma that can come with substance use or mental health struggles. Our goal is not to remove practitioners from practice, but to support their recovery, promote wellness, and help them return to safe, effective care. Through confidential, compassionate assistance, IPTPC focuses on getting the practitioner better while protecting patients and preserving professional dignity.
