the statistics
Substance Abuse Rates
Among First Responders
We know that experiencing a traumatic event, or another stressful event, can impact a person’s substance use. A study that investigated the drinking behaviors of Police Officers who responded to Hurricane Katrina found that, on average, Officers went from consuming to drinks per day to 7.
Another study referenced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration found that approximately 9% of male Fire Fighters reported drinking drunk within the past month. Women Fire Fighters were more likely than not to drink more alcohol than what is recommended. This includes approximately 40% of women Fire Fighters engaging in binge drinking.
If you have been struggling to control, limit, or stop your use of substances, you may benefit from a Huntington Beach first responders drug rehab program. Ocean Coast Recovery is an inpatient treatment provider that offers a 30-90 days inpatient rehab program, which would depend on your unique needs.

Why Do First Responders Use Drugs?
It is important to remember that First Responders are humans and that some of their motivation for using substances is familiar. This includes using it for socializing purposes, to escape, to cope with emotions, and even to experiment. As with other populations, it is possible to use substances without developing a substance use disorder.
The difference is that First Responders are at a higher risk of developing mental health concerns due to the nature of their work. This can include depression, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns. While having a mental health concern does not mean that you will struggle with a substance use disorder, it does, however increase your risk of falling into an unhealthy use of substances.
Ocean Coast Recovery is a drug rehab for first responders in Huntington Beach, CA. We provide specialized treatment options for first responders who are struggling with substance abuse. These treatment options aim to provide you with additional support that is often beneficial for individuals who work in a highly stressful and dangerous profession.

Which Drugs Are Most Common
in First Responders?
Research has found that there is a difference between the rates of problematic alcohol use and PTSD when you compare career Fire Fighters and volunteer Fire Fighters. Binge drinking was found to occur within about half of career Fire Fighters in the past month. Studies have also shown a connection between hazardous drinking and involvement in a disaster relief situation, such as Hurricane Katrina, for police officers.

The challenges
What Are the Challenges in First Responders’ Addiction Treatment
An important detail for First Responders’ addiction treatment programs is that it incorporates how their career has impacted their world. As an example, if a First Responder has experienced a traumatic event, their treatment program should address their substance abuse as well as their mental health concerns.
Additionally, many first responders may be unsure about how to talk about their experiences in a group with those who have not experienced a similar work environment. Because of this, specialized treatment options are often available for First Responders, which include members of Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, and EMTs. The goal here is to break down barriers that keep you from talking about your experiences and struggles.
Ocean Coast Recovery is a Huntington Beach first responders drug rehab program. We use a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and educational sessions, in addition to a variety of alternative treatment approaches to provide you with skills that promote a healthy and lasting recovery.

Ocean Coast Recovery Offers Addiction Treatment for First Responders in Huntington Beach
Substance abuse has a reputation for creating chaos in a person’s life. During active addiction, our focus and motivations shift, which can have an impact on our relationships, family, health, career, and finances. While the consequences individuals face as a result of their substance abuse can vary, the common experience is that they will continue to worsen until the individual stops using.
Ocean Coast Recovery offers a first responder rehab program in Huntington Beach, California. We recognize that there are experiences and challenges that first responders experience that can contribute to their needs in addiction treatment. There may be things that you need or want to talk about but you may not have the opportunity to do so in traditional addiction treatment settings. For this reason, we offer several specialized treatment options, including one for first responders.
Many individuals that we work with begin their treatment by spending time in our detoxification
program. This allows their body to adjust to the natural changes that occur when they stop abusing substances. We provide medical supervision around the clock to monitor for known health concerns and to ease discomfort when appropriate.
Our inpatient rehab program can range from 30 to 90 days, depending on your unique needs. If you are living with another mental health concern, dual-diagnosis treatment may extend the length of your time with us. This allows us to provide you with the tools needed for both your addiction and your other mental health needs.
Unique alternative treatment options that we provide include yoga, meditation, nutrition counseling, acupuncture, and tai chi.
We believe that it takes tremendous courage and strength to ask for help when you are struggling. We are confident that you will feel at home in our facility and that our staff will provide you with the kindness and compassion you deserve. To learn more about how Ocean Coast Recovery can support you in your recovery, call (866)456-2812 today!
