Integrity.
The care we provide has to be worthy of the physicians we treat, and equal to the responsibility they carry.
01
The Problem
When a physician enters treatment, the stakes are unlike any other patient.
The referring PHP does not need inspiration. It needs documentation, accountability, and accurate reporting of risk. Many treatment programs are not built to deliver this.
External
License, credentials, and compliance
PHP monitoring agreements and board oversight all depend on what is documented, how quickly, and how clearly.
Internal
Shame, isolation, identity loss
Physicians often present with years of concealed behavior, eroded identity, and deep fear of professional collapse. Superficial care will not hold.
Philosophical
Physicians deserve more than a narrative
A physician is a patient and a professional at the same time. Care that treats them as only one, or only the other, fails them and fails the public they serve.
What Is At Stake
A missed report. A vague discharge summary. An unflagged relapse. Any one of these can compromise a physician’s recovery, a program’s oversight, and a patient’s safety.
The Turning Point
Recovery does not begin with a promise. It begins with structure, accountability, and the willingness to be seen.
02
The Guide
Valiant Living was built for this work.
Our Approach
We treat physicians with complex behavioral health concerns, and we operate the way Physician Health Programs require us to operate.
Our program is designed from the ground up around PHP expectations: objective documentation, measurable treatment goals, transparent reporting of risk, and structured communication across every level of care.
We do not promise outcomes. We do not promise license reinstatement. We provide the clinical rigor, accountability, and collaboration that give a physician the best possible chance to recover, practice safely, and move forward with integrity.

03
The Plan
Three components. Built to work together.
01/ C1
Collaboration with Physician Health Programs
The referring PHP is treated as a partner in care, with the communication structure and documentation rigor that role requires.
- Weekly verbal and written progress reports
- Objective, measurable documentation, not narrative
- Dedicated liaison, non-therapist point of contact
- Same-week turnaround on documentation requests
- Alignment across all levels of care
- Transparent reporting of relapse, compliance, and risk
02/ C2
Family Integration
Spouses and loved ones are not observers. They are part of the clinical picture, the recovery plan, and the long-term accountability structure.
- Structured family therapy and involvement
- Education and support for spouses and loved ones
- Clear role definition in recovery and accountability
- Resources for disclosure and trauma response
- Ongoing family support after discharge
- Alignment with monitoring and relapse protocols
03/ C3
Deep Clinical Work with the Physician
Full biopsychosocial assessment, DSM-based diagnosis, and treatment that accounts for how addiction, trauma, and professional identity intersect.
- Comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment
- DSM-based diagnosis and co-occurring disorders
- Sex addiction and intimacy disorders
- Gambling, gaming, and process addictions
- Workaholism and burnout
- Relapse prevention and behavioral monitoring
- Behavioral accountability structures
- Alumni program for long-term recovery
04
Outcomes
What success looks like, and what failure costs.
With structured, accountable care
What success looks like.
- Physicians engage in real clinical work, not performance of compliance
- PHPs receive the information they need, when they need it
- Families gain clarity on their role in recovery and accountability
- Referring clinicians have confidence in the handoff and continuum
- Progress, continued clinical needs, and any barriers are documented clearly and honestly to support transparency for the Physicians Health Program and consideration of any additional assessment needs, including fitness-for-duty evaluation.
- Physicians leave with a realistic relapse prevention and monitoring plan in collaboration with Physicians Health Program
Without the right care
What failure costs.
- Documentation gaps create compliance risk for the PHP and the physician
- Non-specific narratives fail formal review and monitoring standards
- Families are sidelined and lose the capacity to support recovery
- Relapse goes unreported, or is reported too late to act on
- Physicians complete a program but leave without a viable plan
- Patient safety, professional standing, and public trust erode
We do not promise outcomes. We deliver the structure, accountability, and collaboration that make the right outcomes possible.
05
PHP Alignment
Built to meet the expectations of Physician Health Programs.
Physician Health Programs operate under monitoring frameworks that demand documentation, measurable progress, and immediate reporting of concerns. Valiant Living is structured to meet those frameworks directly, not to approximate them.
Every element of our program, from intake through alumni, is designed to produce the records, reports, and communication a PHP relies on to do its work.
S.01
Measurable treatment plans
Structured plans with defined, measurable goals. Progress is tracked against those goals, not against subjective impressions.
S.02
Weekly progress reports
Written and verbal reports on a consistent weekly cadence, with additional reporting as clinical events require.
S.03
Documentation of risk
Clear documentation of behavioral risk, compliance, and any deviation from the treatment plan or program expectations.
S.04
Immediate concern reporting
Relapse, AMA, and significant behavioral concerns are reported to the PHP immediately, not deferred to a summary.
S.05
Aftercare alignment
Coordinated step-down care, alumni resources, and continued reporting structured to support the PHP’s long-term monitoring framework.
S.06
Dedicated PHP liaison
A single, non-therapist point of contact who manages documentation, scheduling, and communication with the referring program.
