Am I really helping my friend (or family member) or throwing him/her under the bus?

If your friend is suffering from addiction or alcoholism, this will not resolve itself on its own.  People with this disease are initially not happy to be confronted, but proactively involving the NC Caring Dental Professionals (NCCDP) is the best way to get much needed help.  NCCDP is an advocacy organization.  Our goal is to get Dental Professionals the help they need while preventing a career from being destroyed or a professional reputation being damaged.
