We’re proud to provide professional and confidential first responder rehab treatment at locations, such as medical detox and inpatient treatment, to help those who serve our communities so valiantly to achieve freedom from addiction and mental illness.

Addiction in First Responders

Emergency or first responders are first on the scene of some of the most dangerous and stressful situations, providing immediate care, support, and medical assistance to survivors of a crime or disaster. These heroic duties, while essential to the welfare of our society, can take a serious toll on those in this line of work.

The constant exposure to devastation, death, heartache, and disease combined with long work hours under stressful conditions can wear on a person’s mental health. Consequently, many first responders turn to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with the demands of their careers.

Some examples of first responders include police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel such as paramedics and EMTs, military personnel, and corrections officers. These industry professionals are frequently exposed to situations that many people wouldn’t be able to recuperate from.

It’s estimated that during their time in service, 30% of first responders develop behavioral health disorders, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), compared with 20% in the general population.1 Unfortunately, while the need for first responder addiction treatment is evident, stigma related to addiction and mental health disorders keeps many from reaching out for help.

The fear of seeming weak or not up to the standards of their role keeps many of these professionals from finding first responder treatment programs that can offer them the care they need to recover. There’s an alarming correlation between substance use and mental health disorders, so providing first responders with the behavioral health care they need is crucial to the recovery of our communities' hardworking leaders.

What Our 1st Responder Treatment for Addiction Includes

We offer first responder addiction treatment through our existing treatment programs. Our current addiction services are comprehensive and flexible enough to help police officers, firefighters, and other professionals who are first to arrive at the scene recover from drug and alcohol abuse.

Programs at Banyan Treatment Centers include individual counseling for work-related stress and trauma, as well as substance abuse treatment with inpatient and outpatient levels of care available. Upon arrival at a Banyan addiction help center, patients will undergo a clinical assessment so our team can develop a treatment plan that’s individualized to their needs.

First responder rehab services include:

And while we do prioritize individual counseling methods, we also offer first responder group therapy through our existing therapy programs where patients can connect with others like them in the recovery community. Peer support is crucial at our addiction facilities because so many of these individuals hesitate to reach out for help.

In addition to drug and alcohol treatment, we also offer first responder mental health programs that are applicable to our patients’ cases and designed to address the underlying psychological and social causes and consequences of substance abuse. Addiction and mental illness often co-occur, so it’s important to offer patients comprehensive care that leaves no stone unturned.
