Santé Center for Healing’s Professional Assessment Program offers a fair, precise, and objective investigation of the professional in crisis. This challenge is met with extensive monitoring and evaluation through either a 72 or 96 hour assessment. This data is then used to gauge the professional’s ability to return to work, provide monitoring recommendations, or the necessity for him/her to seek further treatment. This information is provided in a formal written report to the referral source within 14 days.
