Maybe you're an employer. You have an executive on your staff-sharp, professional, well liked by clients and coworkers-who seems to be experiencing problems affecting his or her performance at work. You're concerned that these problems are somehow connected to alcohol or drugs. And you've got a decision to make:
Do you support your employee? Focus on the accounts he or she has successfully managed? The new business that's come through the door as a result of their efforts?
Or do you cut your risk and let the employee go? Maybe that's best: no ongoing liability, no potential for scandal or embarrassment. Or maybe that's not the best: This person you've shepherded through the ranks, in whom you've invested your own experience and knowledge, the one the clients like so much, will just be gone. Isn't there another option?
Yes.
Now there's another way: Executive Drug Rehab at Gulf Coast Recovery. Our program has been developed specifically to help busy professionals, in a safe and serene environment that offers the finest facilities and accommodations.
Many people who struggle with alcohol or drug abuse are eventually willing to acknowledge the problem and seek treatment. But for those still in denial, intervention may be the right course of action. Employers, colleagues, friends and family can be instrumental in bringing the individual to a moment of clarity, with the assistance of a highly trained crisis intervention specialist.
Intervention is designed to assist the individual in realizing the extent of his or her problem, and offering treatment as a means of resolving that problem. A person who has practiced denial for an extended period of time may not feel ready or willing to face the reality of addiction and its consequences. Although supportive friends can help, the intervention introduces a "neutral" third party to guide the addict through an experience that can be both psychologically overwhelming and emotionally wrenching. While it may sound cruel, or be difficult to watch, it can spare the addict many more years of painful repercussions.
An intervention involves many logistical considerations that require planning well in advance. If your employee, coworker, friend, family member or loved one is in trouble, call one of our trained intervention specialists today. Working with you, we can develop a schedule and plan the time and place where the intervention will occur.
The Executive Drug Rehab at Gulf Coast Recovery can be the start of a new, fulfilling and drug-free life.
