Santé Center for Healing has earned a national reputation for treating the impaired professional since opening in 1996. Most professionals are faced with an environment in which they are expected to know more, do more in less time, lead others and accept liability in an atmosphere that seems less respectful and often differs from their expectations during training. This situation, combined with the personality traits that it takes to get through the rigorous educational and training process can put these professionals at high risk for substance use disorder, behavioral addiction, or disruptive behaviors. Such behavior usually results in an intervention by some authority figure that can end with the professional being told that he or she must seek treatment.
When a professional is referred or seeks treatment for a substance use disorder, behavioral addiction or disruptive behaviors, the professional is often feeling anger, shame or fear of losing everything that is important to him/her. At the same time he/she feels the loss of what started as an oasis from a complicated and stressed life. This is often how the professional enters the intake process with Santé Center for Healing.
More often than not when a professional comes to treatment their governing board is already involved or about to get involved and treatment is usually mandatory. Their employer or partners are more likely to be made aware of their circumstances and they will almost assuredly have a lengthy monitoring period post treatment.
