Substance Abuse in Medical Professionals

According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), about 7% of healthcare employees working full-time meet the criteria for a substance use disorder (SUD). There are several factors that put healthcare professionals at a higher risk for developing dependence on drugs and alcohol. The high-stress environment of hospitals and medical offices coupled with long and irregular hours, often leads to physical and emotional exhaustion. This exhaustion prompts the misuse of substances as a coping mechanism.

Additionally, healthcare professionals have easier access to medications, increasing the risk of prescription drug abuse. The necessity to remain alert and perform under pressure also leads some to rely on substances that they believe will enhance their performance or alleviate fatigue. Without addiction treatment for medical professionals, drug and alcohol use can lead to serious consequences including:

Loss of job or licensing, crucial for their career and financial stability.
Compromised patient care, putting patient safety at risk and potentially leading to severe medical errors.
Legal consequences, which may include charges related to the possession or use of illegal drugs, or malpractice lawsuits

Reach out to our team today if you or a loved one are struggling with substance use.
