Professionals in Recovery

We work with a number of professionals – pharmacists, dentists, nurses, lawyers, physicians – that struggle with alcohol addiction or drug addiction.  While people with addictions struggle with the same issues, there are unique challenges for everyone.  Whether you’re a professional, a mother, or a CEO – there are unique aspects of recovery for everyone.  One of the sobering (no pun intended) questions for professionals is “what’s your backup profession?”  When you lose a license, you lose more than a job.  You lose an identity and a dream that may have been pursued since childhood.  Make sure your treatment addresses the basic AND unique aspects of your life and your addiction.
