Recovery Begins When Isolation Ends

What Is Caduceus?

Caduceus is a peer-support community for healthcare professionals affected by addiction. It brings together people who share the experience of recovery and understand the unique professional challenges healthcare professionals may face.

Caduceus meetings are closed peer-support meetings for licensed healthcare professionals and medical students. Modeled after the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, they provide a place where healthcare professionals can feel safe, speak honestly, and be heard without judgment. They also offer an opportunity to connect with others who understand both addiction and the personal and professional challenges of recovery.
