Alcohol and Drug Rehab Industry – Mental Health Risks

Workers in the alcohol and drug rehabilitation industry play a crucial role in helping others recover from addictions and substance abuse issues. However, taking care of others can be very stressful. Employees in the alcohol and drug rehab industry may face stressors like:

  • Emotional situations
  • Physical demanding work
  • Long or unpredictable hours
  • Exposures to illnesses like COVID-19

Over time, experiences like these can take a heavy toll. As a result, workers may find themselves struggling with mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. When left untreated, mental health problems increase the risk of suicide, self-harm, or substance abuse. Mental health issues can also exacerbate physical conditions, and stress can increase the risk of medical issues like heart attacks or strokes.
