Addiction Treatment for Licensed Professionals

At Riverside Recovery, we recognize that licensed professionals in public safety, legal, aviation, and high-stakes roles often face a unique set of pressures. When substance use or mental health challenges arise, they must navigate not only personal recovery but also public trust, licensure, and career stability.

That’s why we built a dedicated program that supports these individuals through the entire recovery process and a safe return to work.

Licensed Professionals Program

Specialized Treatment for Those in Safety-sensitive Roles

Our program is tailored to meet the specific needs of professionals whose work involves public safety, legal accountability, or operational responsibility, including:

  • First responders (paramedics, firefighters, EMTs)
  • Law enforcement officers
  • Legal professionals and attorneys
  • Commercial pilots and aviation professionals
  • Government and public safety employees
  • Any licensed professional in a regulated or high-responsibility field

Whether you’re seeking help voluntarily or under formal referral, our team is here to support you at every step.

Care That Meets Professional Standards

We provide expedited assessments and placement into the appropriate level of care. Our intake process is discreet, compassionate, and designed to meet the needs of professionals under pressure.

  • Shame, stigma, and professional identity
  • Ethical concerns and public accountability
  • Burnout, trauma, and exposure to crisis
  • Returning to high-responsibility roles after treatment

Collaborative Documentation & Reporting

We coordinate with referring parties and professional oversight bodies when needed, including:

  • Legal representatives
  • Professional assistance programs
  • Employers and HR teams
  • Licensing and regulatory boards

Psychiatric & Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

We provide ongoing access to psychiatric care and MAT options when clinically appropriate, including non-addictive sleep and anxiety support.
