Addiction Treatment for Teachers & Educators
When it comes to professions that are underpaid, undervalued, and underappreciated, professional educators often top the list. Most don’t realize just how stressful it is to be a part of this profession, and the tension that surrounds it is often the reason that most will leave it.
“Two-thirds of teachers may want to quit the profession, while 36.4 percent are likely to quit.”
Those in the educational profession are more than just teachers. They are role models, mentors, and can sometimes even adopt parental roles for their students. This can lead to burn-out and unhealthy methods of coping.
Parkdale Center is aware of the necessity of balancing your career, your personal life, and your sobriety. We offer specialized treatment programs that cater to the specific needs of your profession.

We Are here for you
Specialized Treatment for Teachers & Educators
At Parkdale Center, our mission is to provide customized treatment programs that cater specifically to the unique needs of each client we serve. We recognize that educators often encounter high levels of stress in their professional roles, which may contribute to challenges with addiction. Our aim is to create a supportive environment that not only addresses substance misuse but also enhances your professional life, enabling you to achieve a fulfilling career.
To realize these aspirations, we concentrate on delivering comprehensive intensive outpatient treatment options, which allow for flexibility while ensuring that our clients receive the structured support they need. Additionally, we offer dual-diagnosis care, recognizing that many individuals may struggle with both mental health issues and substance use disorders. Our specialized approach ensures that we treat the whole person, rather than just the symptoms.
Our career restoration services are designed to empower clients to regain their sense of purpose and professional identity. We equip our clients with essential tools, coping strategies, and resources that foster ongoing success in both recovery and their chosen career paths. At Parkdale Center, we pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and holistic healing experience, treating each individual as the multifaceted person they are.
Recognizing the Challenges Teachers & Educators Face
Teachers and educators are among the most passionate but also the most overlooked professionals the world has to offer. Many are asked to work long hours beyond the school day spent grading papers, making lesson plans, developing exams, and more. Despite the busy work schedule, many educators don't see pay that matches their efforts. A lack of funding even forces some to take purchasing school supplies into their own hands. What's more, educators often face criticism from students, parents, and peers alike. The immense pressure to help children grow into successful adults, coupled with a lack of support from administration, puts many educators in an extremely difficult position. It's no wonder that so many hard-working educators feel lost and turn to substance misuse as a way to cope with the challenges they face. Even as more and more teachers and educators push back and demand the pay, respect, and time off they deserve, the need for treatment that helps pick up the pieces grows. While educators may not get the appreciation they've earned, we recognize their critical role in building a functional society. Without teachers and educators, our future would be dim. At Parkdale Center, we believe that educators should be prioritized just as much as their students. Whether you love teaching or are ready to take your career in a new direction, we're here to help connect you with the resources and skills you need to thrive.

We Are Here For You: Our Program
At our drug and alcohol rehab center, we prioritize public safety while adhering closely to the treatment protocols recommended by various stakeholders, including healthcare professionals and regulatory bodies at the local, state, and federal levels. This commitment is reflected in the prominent display of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation seal on our website, symbolizing our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in rehabilitation services.
What truly sets Parkdale Center apart is our diverse array of treatment offerings tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. We recognize that the journey to recovery is personal and multifaceted, which is why we provide a comprehensive suite of services—from individual therapy and group counseling to holistic approaches and aftercare planning. Regardless of your specific circumstances or recovery goals, we are equipped with the resources and expertise to support you every step of the way on your path to lasting wellness.
The initial phase of any effective treatment plan is achieving sobriety. Although Parkdale Center does not provide detoxification services on-site, we are fully equipped to assist you in managing withdrawal symptoms in a safe and supportive environment. Our dedicated clinical staff closely monitors each client throughout the withdrawal process, using their expertise to provide timely interventions as needed. This careful supervision ensures that individuals can navigate the challenges of withdrawal safely, minimizing discomfort and promoting a greater likelihood of success as they embark on their recovery journey.
Our PHP is an intensive, full-time program that engages clients in regular treatment based on their goals. Group therapy, individual counseling, and psychoeducational activities are just a few of the tactics we use to help our clients stay on track.
After the completion of a PHP, clients can transition to our IOP, which requires less time spent in treatment but still keeps clients accountable for their goals. Outpatient care is an ideal option for those who need a space to confide in and find support from others but who may not need round-the-clock supervision.
Treating addiction without addressing its potential root causes is far less likely to be successful than a comprehensive approach. Because many clients experience mental health concerns that affect their addiction, we offer dual-diagnosis treatment that considers both areas of need. Clients can receive mental health treatment so that they can pursue their other treatment goals without hindrance.
