Treatment that Works!
At Providence Treatment, we actively assist you in getting back on track by focusing a portion of your treatment goals on your professional behaviors. You will have the opportunity to share with other professionals about your specific professional status, and whether you will be returning to the same position, or seeking another job or even another career.
In our Recovery-oriented therapies, Providence Treatment understands the needs of professionals in early recovery from alcohol and drug use, depression, anxiety and family dysfunction.

- Collaboration with employers, training directors, etc. with our client’s authorization
- Advocacy and recommendations for workplace accommodations
