Executives

Many individuals who struggle with substance use disorder do not fit the stereotypes and myths of a typical addict. This is the case when it comes to CEOs and executives. Those who are in these professional positions are typically educated, gainfully employed, leaders, and often appear to have it all together. In fact, CEOs and executives are probably the last people you would expect to have a drug or alcohol problem.

The very traits that make them so successful can often add to and increase their development of unhealthy habits, eventually triggering substance use problems. Additional contributing factors, such as money or their position, often allow these professionals to disguise their addiction for long periods of time. 

Due to the nature of the business and its high demands, long hours, high stress, and pressure, it makes receiving treatment hard to achieve. For some professionals, leaving their business for treatment is just not possible and this is where Parkdale Center excels. 

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. 

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. 

Our Programs adamantly promote public safety while complying with all treatment recommendations from involved parties and the local, state, and federal authorities. This is why you see the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) standards accreditation seal of approval on our website. We take these standards very seriously.

Stage 4: Outpatient/ Aftercare Program

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.
