Executive rehab programs and residential treatment centers are designed for business executives and other professionals to recover from substance abuse, co-occurring mental health problems, chronic stress, and burnout in a private, luxurious healing space.
What Makes An Executive Rehabilitation Program Different?
Executive rehab programs are designed around the addiction and recovery needs of professionals such as CEOs, entrepreneurs, business executives, lawyers, and doctors. These programs focus on:
- Privacy and Discretion: Although patient confidentiality is a key part of any rehab program, executive treatment programs go above and beyond, offering private rooms, secluded locations, and strict confidentiality rules for staff.
- Flexible Schedules: Executive clients have access to designated times for laptop or phone use, high-quality workspaces, and a tailored plan that helps them balance their career with treatment.
- Luxury Amenities: Accommodations in professional programs often include luxury housing located in the mountains, near a beach, or a secluded, peaceful area such as a forest. They offer chef-prepared, gourmet meals, massage and acupuncture, yoga, and other personalized services based on individual client needs.
- Focus on Stress and Burnout: Programming focuses on substance abuse and its relation to burnout, performance pressure, perfectionism, and work stress. All are significant factors contributing to substance abuse in executive professionals.
- Customized, Intensive Care: Executives may not be able to dedicate the time it takes to complete a standard rehab program. Treatment may be more intense, but shorter, including more one-on-one therapy sessions and personal coaching.
Executive Rehab Centers Understand High-Stakes Pressure
Clients who attend executive rehab programs often have intense and demanding daily schedules, managing businesses and high-stress careers. Drug and alcohol use among professionals in fields like finance, leadership, law, and healthcare is a serious challenge, often unspoken.
These statistics highlight the problems:
- Harvard Business Review reports that 20% of senior executives admit to using stimulants such as cocaine or Adderall to boost productivity [1].
- According to a study from the American Bar Association, 1 in 3 practicing lawyers struggle with alcohol abuse [2].
- According to the Journal of Substance Abuse, 10% to 15% of healthcare professionals struggle with substance abuse during their careers [3].
Why Professionals Choose Our Rehab Program
Rushton Recovery understands the unique stressors that professionals in high-stress roles face and addresses issues such as perfectionism, performance pressure, and hustle culture, while helping clients develop coping strategies to thrive in a fast-paced corporate world.
Inpatient Treatment That Respects Your Time and Responsibilities
Although we encourage you to disconnect from the stress of your everyday life, our executive rehab program takes into account the demands of a busy schedule and professional responsibilities.
We provide intensive, evidence-based care without the optional free time that one may have in a typical rehab program. Personalized treatment plans are designed to keep flexibility in mind, offering access to workspaces or technology.
Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Therapies
Our clinical therapies address the root of addiction, underlying mental health problems, and negative core beliefs that underlie substance abuse or problems such as depression, anxiety, and perfectionism. Some of the therapies we offer in our executive program include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Target negative thoughts, set goals, explore solutions to emotional challenges, and build positive coping skills to manage stress and prevent burnout.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Explore solutions to emotional challenges, practice mindfulness, and learn how to express and regulate emotions in a healthy and sustainable way.
- Creative Arts Therapies: Art, music, and dance therapy provide creative outlets to release chronic tension, destructive emotions, and improve mental well-being. For executives who often function under chaos, art teaches them to slow down, process their feelings, and disconnect.
