If you are a healthcare provider, case manager or agency with a client you feel may benefit from PROP and has a history of crystal use an average of once a week for the last 3 months you may refer your client to one of the PROP sites. Because PROP is a form of treatment that relies on self-motivation to change behavior, current participation in other treatment programs, (i.e. residential, outpatient and treatment based housing programs) prior to enrollment in PROP will exclude you from participation. However, if you seek treatment while enrolled in PROP you are eligible to continue.
If you are active in a 12-step program, you are still eligible to participate in PROP.
The use of ecstasy, cocaine or certain cold and allergy medicines may cause the urine test used in PROP to react as positive for crystal use. To participate, you will be asked to refrain from using these substances during the 12 weeks.
If you are a medical provider or agency representative and want more information on referring patients to PROP, or would like an in-service presentation on PROP services, please call Brandon Ivory at 415.355.2033 or email brandonivory@sfdph.org
