Why Support and Addiction Treatment for First Responders?

First responders are first on the scene of disasters and emergency situations. The general public sees first responders as a kind of Super Hero. And they are: but even super heroes need support to continue their mission.

As most everyone is aware, the physical demands in being a first responder can be enormous. Being a first responder to emergency situations also has an impact on the mental well-being of emergency personnel.

Firefighters, police, EMS and other emergency services providers are seldom called on to rescue cute kittens from trees. In most cases, first responders see accident victims horribly injured or burned, rescue survivors crushed in crumbling buildings, pull residents from burning buildings; or are called on to defuse situations ranging from domestic disputes to a hostage crisis.

First Responder Trauma and PTSD

Firefighters, police, EMS and other providers face the risk of many behavioral health concerns; including anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD and addiction. Taking care of mental health is as important as managing physical health.

For first responders, the stress of not being able to save everyone; of the extent of serious injuries at an accident scene; of not being successful in defusing a dispute resulting in injury and more – all take a emotional and mental toll.

First Responder Substance Abuse EAP Programs at New Start Recovery Solutions

New Start Recovery Solutions works with Employee Assistance Programs serving first responders needing detox and addiction rehab treatment. Our programs are specifically designed for first responders; and take into account the unique challenges, needs, and risks associated with being exposed to trauma on a regular basis.

Our dual diagnosis treatment programs help to ensure a higher level of engagement in treatment.  If the underlying causes of addiction are treated – PTSD, anxiety, ‘survivor guilt’ and more – then there is a very good prognosis of enjoying long-term recovery from both disorders.

The sooner individuals get help, the sooner they can begin to work through negative emotions and address the issues that are contributing to substance abuse. A high-quality addiction treatment program equips clients with the skills, techniques, strategies and support needed to cope with trauma and stress on a daily basis. And assists in developing healthier ways of handling trauma moving forward.
