In the context of the diversion program, who pays the fees?

In the context of diversion programs, the participant is typically responsible for paying the fees. Diversion programs are designed to provide an alternative to traditional disciplinary actions for individuals in licensed professions, allowing them to address issues such as substance abuse while maintaining their professional status. Fees can cover the costs of program administration, evaluations, and treatment services. By placing this financial responsibility on the participant, the program encourages personal accountability and investment in their rehabilitation process.

The other entities mentioned, such as the state government, the licensing board, and insurance companies, do not generally cover these costs. Their roles may be more about oversight, support, or processing rather than fronting the financial burden associated with the diversion program. This structure reinforces the participant's active role in their recovery and compliance with the requirements of the program.
