Addiction Recovery Coaching the Ideal Solution for Professionals.
The most common reason that people give
for not wanting to go through drug or alcohol rehab is that they are afraid of
the social or professional ramifications. Specifically, they are most afraid
that entering any type of rehabilitation program will damage their careers in
some way.
Studies have shown that about 3 million
people in Australia have a drug,alcohol, gambling or sex addiction for which they
never seek professional help. Not only are these individuals damaging their
physical and mental health, they are also putting their safety, and the safety
of others, at great risk.
Ramifications of Seeking Help
Since so many people are afraid to seek
help for their addictions, it is important to try to understand their
reasoning. Many people believe that if they enter any type of addiction treatment, they will either be ostracised at work or fired from their
jobs. Even if they have insurance coverage that would pay for at least a
portion of their addiction treatment expenses, these individuals are still
reluctant to seek help because they are afraid of their employers’ reactions.
Researchers have discovered that people’s
fears are often greater than the realities that would be facing them if they
would only come forward and admit to needing help. For example, someone who is
addicted to alcohol might feel so guilty and self-conscious about their problem
that they are afraid if they come forward, others will judge them as harshly as
they are judging themselves.
While it certainly is possible for people
to experience negative reactions from co-workers or employers when it becomes
known that they have some type of addiction, the reality is that most often the
reactions of others are not nearly as bad as people anticipate they will be.
Why Addiction Recovery Is Important
A very important thing to remember is that
your health is the most important thing in your life. Even in these tough
economic times, your health and well being is still more important than a job.
In addition, statistics have shown that people are actually more likely to keep
their jobs if they get help for their addiction than they are if they
simply let their addictions go untreated.
Think about it: If you are addicted to
drugs or alcohol, your life at some point is going to begin to unravel and,
eventually, it will probably begin to spin out of control. If your addictions
become the focal point of your life, you will probably wind up losing your job
because of poor attendance or poor performance. As a general rule, people who
regularly use drugs or abuse alcohol are much more likely to become chronically
unemployed, as they will reach a point where they are simply no longer capable
of holding down a job.
People who receive addiction help, on the other hand, not only stand a better chance of
keeping the jobs they already have, they are also far more likely to obtain
better jobs after they have completed help. Even if you find it necessary to
quit your job or take a leave of absence while you are going through treatment,
you are likely to be able to find another job once you have embraced your recovery.
Finding Support
Having a healthy support system is
essential for people who are going through addiction recovery. For professionals or sports people Residential rehab facilities are not ideal in regards to maintaining confidentiality. Recovery Coaching provides the support and a structured plan for getting people into a quality and sustainable recovery. Recovery Coaching provides a highly personalised process that can be maintained even while the individual continues their professional obligations and with absolute confidentiality.

your job, your best option is to engage a highly experienced Addiction Recovery Coach from Coaching With Substance. It isn’t necessary that you tell your boss or
