Specialized Treatment For Athletes

Drug Rehab for Athletes

Athletes are driven to consistently push for success and improve themselves more than people in other training often are. The competitive nature, especially in professional sports, can place increased pressure on both physical and mental strengths. Since the goal is always to be number one, it is no surprise that they often fall victim to the temptations to remain, or at least feel, they are on top and in control.
“33% of elite athletes are addicted to a drug they took to help them overcome their pain so they could go back to performing.” – Vice magazine
The most commonly misused substance by professional athletes is anabolic steroids. These performance-enhancing drugs can result in painful withdrawal symptoms when regular use is discontinued. This is not the only substance that athletes, both professional and not, abuse.
Training and performing can lead to exhaustion and fatigue, which are sometimes countered with stimulants. There is also the physical pain that comes with the profession, that can result in the overuse of prescription medications to numb the pain.
At Parkdale Center, we understand the importance of harmonizing your career, personal life, and sobriety. Our tailored treatment programs are designed to address the unique requirements of your profession. We are dedicated to collaborating with diverse regulatory, legislative, investigative, monitoring, and treatment entities to surpass expectations in our Aftercare program.
Parkdale is committed to working with various regulatory, legislative, investigative, monitoring, and treatment organizations to ensure the Aftercare program exceeds expectations. In addition, Parkdale will maintain strict patient confidentiality while adhering to all the HIPAA regulations.

Parkdale will assist you locally or will work with an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in your hometown to create a support system of individuals and outpatient appointments. This assistance will ensure you are ready to prevent the potential for relapse while encouraging lasting support and sobriety.

  • This stage is recommended to ensure that an individual begins to form new healthy habits when returning to everyday life.
  • Onsite group appointments in your community
  • Reintegration/Professional Re-entry to work, as recommended

We don’t just want you to meet your potential; we want you to form a relationship with it. The time post-IOP is referred to as “Aftercare”, which for many, leads to new beginnings. Long-term sobriety is attainable, but it doesn’t happen the minute you quit using. It takes the creation and development of a support system. At Parkdale, we are dedicated to helping everyone acquire this support – the professional in recovery, the family, the employer and anyone willing to engage. Parkdale is here for you through the whole stages of recovery.

  • Long-term sponsor engagement
  • Group meetings to create a supportive environment
  • Continued support for families, employers, and colleagues, as desired.
