Executive Medicine

Executive Medicine doctors and physician groups are coming together to customize health programs for groups of executives and independent businesses with an objective of reducing the lost productivity time. At the core of many Executive Healthcare packages is an Executive Physical. In many instances, the doctor will travel to company facilities in order to perform a basic physical for all executive members. In others, as in the case of Elite IPA, the office visit is an option, but executives are given the benefit of in-depth diagnostic treatment, which allows for an even more in-depth analysis of their health than what is typical. This level of physical, given at a time that is convenient for the executive, is to have a positive impact on the bottom line. The average wait to see a physician is 68 minutes. There is no wait with the IPA Health associates for executives. IPA works around the schedule. Nor does IPA rush the visit. The visit is complete only when all of the concerns and questions answered. For those who prefer to communicate in writing, IPA is only an e-mail away. IPA physicians travel with hand-held e-mail devices around the clock for quick response. Of course there are times when one just wants to speak directly with the doctor on the telephone.One of the first things given to a new patient is the doctor’s personal cell phone number. Wherever business or pleasure takes you, IPA is just a phone call away. Turn to IPA’s Executive Medicine for a complete executive physical that looks at the health from all angles. True health and wellness are only achieved when there is a good understanding of the family history, personal medical history. IPA offers the latest in both non-invasive and blood-based cardiovascular screening testing. For early cancer detection, there may be reason to consider modern scanning approaches, including the PET technology. The integration of state-of-the-art cancer detection approach is a major feature of the program, as is ready access to leading specialists for preventive consultations.

Co-Occurring Drug Abuse and Mental Health

Offenders with co-occurring drug abuse and mental health problems often require an integrated treatment approach. High rates of mental health problems are present in offender populations and in those with substance abuse problems. Drug abuse treatment can sometimes address depression, anxiety and other mental health problems. Personality, cognitive and other serious mental disorders can be difficult to treat and may disrupt drug treatment. The presence of co-occurring disorders may require an integrated approach that combines drug abuse treatment with psychiatric treatment, including the use of medication. A physician should assess Individuals with either a substance abuse or mental health problem for the presence of the other.

Medications for Drug Abuse

Medications are important parts of treatment for many drug abusing offenders. For heroin addiction, medicines such as methadone and buprenorphine help normalize brain function and individuals who may benefit from them should take them. Effective use of medications can be instrumental in enabling people with co-occurring mental health problems to function successfully in society. Behavioral strategies can increase adherence to medication regimens.

Chronic Conditions Prevention

Treatment planning for drug abusing offenders who are living in or returning the community should include strategies to prevent and treat serious, chronic medical conditions, such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C and tuberculosis.
The rates of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, are higher in drug abusers, incarcerated offenders and offenders under community supervision than in the general population. Infectious diseases affect not just the offender, but also the criminal justice system and the wider community. Consistent with federal and state laws, offenders who have abused drugs should be tested for infectious diseases and receive counseling on health practices and on ways to modify risky behaviors. Probation and parole officers who monitor offenders with serious medical conditions should link them with appropriate healthcare services, encourage compliance with medical treatment and re-establish eligibility of the offender for public health services like Medicaid.
