Welcome!

The OSANA recognizes that anesthesia providers, because

of their exposure and the nature of their work, may be at

high risk for substance misuse.

Assistance for CRNAs and student nurse anesthetists for

chemical dependency, substance misuse, and other work

related issues like harassment, violence and fitness for duty

is available through:

• Peer Assistance Hotline
• AANA Peer Advisors
• Other resources on this website.

If you or a colleague need help because you suspect drug

abuse or addiction, please contact Jack or Gregg ASAP.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Confidential Help!

We have been where you are. Yes it's frightening. No, the

situation is NOT hopeless, unless you choose to do nothing.

It IS possible to recover and return to practice. More importantly,

it is possible to live a full life with your family and friends. But

you will need help along the way.

You CANNOT do this alone!
