Drug/Alcohol rehab industry – Patient-related injuries
In their roles in the drug or alcohol rehabilitation industry, workers may frequently encounter patients who are struggling with the rehabilitation process. For example, they may encounter patients suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms, suicide ideation, or intense emotions surrounding their recent life change. While working in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation industry allows workers to help people through their recovery process, it also puts them at an increased risk of patient-related injuries. If they have a harmful incident with a rehabilitation patient, rehabilitation industry employees can sustain injuries like:
- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Back or neck injuries
Incidents like these can also take a heavy mental toll, which can lead to an increased risk of mental illness and have an impact on a rehabilitation industry worker’s physical health.
