First Responders Addiction Statistics
First responders include police officers, EMTs and paramedics, firefighters, and those who otherwise put themselves at high risk as part of their daily job. This exposes them to stress and PTSD risks, which enhances the need for drug rehab for first responders.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use, each group of first responders struggles uniquely with addiction risks.
Firefighters
- Nearly one-third of firefighters abuse alcohol
- One in ten firefighters abuses prescription drugs
- Binge drinking is higher among firefighters than in the general population
Firefighters deal with high levels of binge drinking for several reasons. For many, it is because of the camaraderie built during peer exchanges and social outings, for others, the culture of the fire station, and for most, a way to unwind and manage the stress from the day.
Police Officers
- One quarter of police officers struggle with drug or alcohol abuse
- One-third of police officers have a substance abuse disorder
- Up to one-fifth of police officers have PTSD
- Police officers die from suicide at a much higher rate than they do from homicide
The rate of addiction among the general population amounts to around ten percent, meaning one in ten people struggles with addiction. For police officers, this is three times higher.
Paramedics/EMTs
- 36 percent of EMTs suffer from depression
- 72 percent of EMTs struggle with sleep deprivation
- One-fifth of EMTs have PTSD
EMTs and paramedics work erratic schedules, leaving them more susceptible to sleep deprivation, and that can lead to addiction through self-medication. Many might, for example, drink at the end of a shift or take extra sleeping pills to get the sleep they need, when they need it.
Moreover, EMTs and paramedics are often exposed to trauma throughout a workshift, and that trauma can lead to PTSD if left untreated. Those with untreated PTSD might turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.

PTSD and the Need for Drug Rehab For First Responders
PTSD risks are higher among first responders than in the general population. First responders might experience trauma directly, like a police officer who is shot in the line of duty. They might also experience it through another person they are close to, like a firefighter losing a partner. Still, many experience PTSD from events that they witness or are indirectly involved in, like paramedics responding to a case of domestic violence, and witnessing the physical impact the event had on a mother and her three small children.
PTSD as a first responder can inhibit your ability to fulfill your duties, maintain healthy mental stability, and live a productive and healthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, many first responders don’t recognize the symptoms of PTSD as PTSD, but instead, as a “normal” part of the job. For example:
After witnessing a horrible murder, a first responder comes home and drinks too much to try to calm down.
This can lead to self-medicating for PTSD regularly. Maybe an EMT takes sleeping pills to calm down after a traumatic work day, but soon they are taking 3 or 4 pills and not just once in a while, but every day.
This can lead to addiction.
Our Programs
90210 Recovery Drug Rehab For First Responders
At 90210 Recovery, we provide many specialized drug rehab programs. These are designed for separate demographics to be able to access care that works for the group, with programs that focus on the culture of the profession and the unique trauma and stresses associated with the job.
Peer Support
As a first responder, there are many high-stress experiences that you might encounter in the workplace. Our treatment center provides group therapy with like-minded professionals, those who understand those stressful or traumatic experiences.
This is very important in creating a community and reducing feelings of isolation. When you meet in group therapy with people who understand the unique facets of your job’s culture or stresses, it makes it much easier to open up.
Cultural Understanding
On a related note, many people who come to our treatment center find comfort and support in the cultural understanding associated with our drug rehab for first responders. Whether you find it in other peers who are also participating in a recovery program, support staff, or session leaders, our residential programs give clients the opportunity to relax, never having to explain the realities of their job or justify their feelings.
Holistic Recovery
We don’t just treat the addiction; we treat the entire person. This extends to a range of advanced medical care and complementary holistic services.
These holistic therapies make it possible to:
- Build healthy sleep habits
- Maintain good physical fitness
- Find the right nutrition
- Use proper self-care
Our treatments include individual and group therapy, alongside opportunities for massage therapy, meditation, art therapy, exercise and fitness, and mindfulness.
