**************************************************************************
IDAA is a group of approximately 4700 recovering health care professionals of doctorate level who help one another achieve and maintain sobriety from addictions.
IDAA strongly supports mainstream AA as the basis for everyone's recovery program and that needs to be first and foremost. We are not terminally unique! However, specific issues do arise for Healthcare professionals and impaired doctors that are hard to deal with in regular AA meetings. Many of these issues are explored in the safe environment of the IDAA annual meetings and in the online listgroups on this website. There are no dues or fees for membership, just the desire to stay sober and off mood-altering drugs.
