Sacrifice, Stress, and Substance Abuse
Handling danger and saving lives—extreme stress taxes emotional, mental, and physical health. Being a first responder takes strength, resilience, and determination.
These vital skills will serve you as you begin your recovery journey among those suffering from substance abuse.
Today, thousands struggle with untreated PTSD because of trauma in the line of duty. Without other ways of managing, the job’s heavy expectations tempt them to cope with drugs or alcohol.
These brave people suffer the demands of their duty, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse sees more instances of first responders turning to addiction each year as a result:
- One-third of police officers abuse alcohol after four years on the force.
- Almost half of all EMTs engage in high-risk alcohol and drug use.
- One in ten firefighters abuse drugs, and one in three abuse alcohol.
- First responders often self-medicate job-related conditions like pain and PTSD.

They draw on inner courage and strength every day to protect our homes, safeguard our communities, and deliver our loved ones to safety.
