Twerski, Abraham J. "Treating Physician Substance Abuse." Interview by Christopher Guadagnino,. Physicians News. Mar. 1997. Web. 01 Nov. 2010. <http://www.physiciansnews.com/spotlight/397wp.html>.
I think the writer’s main points are that his rehab center is great at preventing relapses in physician drug abusers. Another main point is how to detect if a physician is abusing.
“The recovery rate is extremely high.”
“Physicians who know that a colleague has an alcohol or drug problem should talk with the family of the physician.”
This expands on what needs to be done when a physician is abusing and the treatment that is done. It is actual information from a doctor that runs a rehab center which can show treatment can be done.
This information can be used to explain treatment for physicians and what is effective and what isn’t. It also shows how what you can do when you think a physician is abusing.
This source is very creditable because it is an interview done by someone how has there PhD. The interviewee is an MD and runs his own rehab center. Both are very creditable sources.
I see this connecting some parts of my other research with how it goes about some of its methods of rehab; I also see some that haven’t been mentioned. I can also see how some of its information is the same as the newspaper article.
I think this source can be great to get quotes from people who are experts. However, I think this source is a little bit bias. Just because anyone who works for or, owns a treatment center is going to promote it. Maybe if you do research a specific rehab facility, you can check some other sites that have information about the rehab?
