The short answer to this question is, yes, executives, like people from every walk of life, become addicted to alcohol and drugs. Many people have a misguided view of addiction and associate drug or alcohol addiction with people living on the street.
Without a doubt, the downward spiral of dependency and addiction without recovery can leave people penniless and homeless. But many people living with addiction continue to work and, on the surface, appear to function well just as they did before.
Many executives struggling with substance abuse succeed in masking their condition. Well-dressed and seemingly alert, they are at their desk and in the boardroom promptly. To a casual observer, they seem to be at the top of their game.
But internally, they are suffering, and each day of surreptitious alcohol or drug use takes its toll. Fearing exposure or that intoxication might impact their work can cause anxiety levels to rise. In turn, drug or alcohol use increases, and stress eats away at self-esteem, confidence, and general well-being.
The truth is that highly educated and successful people are affected by drug and alcohol addiction daily. Professionals and athletes are no more immune to the dangers of substance abuse than anyone else. In fact, because of work-related stress, busy executives and other high-level professionals can be particularly vulnerable to mental health and substance abuse problems.
We understand that in the professional world, your reputation is beyond price. That is why our executive treatment programs at Vita Recovery emphasize confidentiality. No one will know you are seeking treatment when you attend our executive rehab. Every aspect of your rehabilitation program is handled with the utmost care and discretion.
For many executives, fear of the stigma associated with drug and alcohol addiction is a barrier to accessing the treatment they need. Some fear that the revelation of substance abuse struggles could cost them their job.
But the stigma and prejudice are unwarranted. As the National Institute on Drug Abuse makes clear, overcoming addiction isn't a matter of willpower or moral principles - you are overcoming a disease. No matter how competent and professionally able a person might be, once addicted, stopping is a tremendous challenge.
Drug and alcohol addiction are complex diseases. Substance abuse can't be ended easily because addiction causes changes in the brain and mental health disorders. So, whoever we are, if we want a life free from drug and alcohol abuse, we need to find a rehab program and treatment center that addresses our needs.
And at Vita Recovery, that's exactly what you will find - an executive rehab for discreet substance abuse treatment.
An executive outpatient treatment program is designed so that you don’t have to stay in a treatment facility overnight. Instead, you come to treatment during the week and follow a structured path that guides you to be able to best manage your newfound sobriety.
If you worry that work responsibilities prevent you from committing to a residential or inpatient stay, then at Vita Recovery, we offer both partial hospitalization and an intensive outpatient program. Our executive treatment programs allow you to maintain vital work links, conduct meetings, and address other career-related issues while learning how to maintain your sobriety and achieve long term recovery from substance abuse.
Luxury outpatient substance use treatment programs are high-end treatment centers that provide a higher standard of amenities than traditional rehab facilities. An executive rehab typically provides more luxury, such as:
Better-appointed rooms and furnishings: At a luxury rehab facility, you can anticipate an attractive and comfortable environment.
Individualized attention and care: A luxury rehab will have higher staffing levels than a traditional rehab center, ensuring you have a support team focused on your care and needs.
Quality care: At a luxury rehab, you will find more treatment options, including individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy - offering specialized, high-end programs for busy executives and professionals.
Serene location: Luxury rehabs frequently offer tranquil sites. Our executive treatment center at Vita Recovery is an oasis of calm where you can work on your recover against the beautiful Miami backdrop and enjoy the wonderful South Florida climate.
