Addiction Treatment for Pilots

Proven Addiction Treatment for Pilots

Back-to-back flights, long hours, safety concerns, and the responsibility of hundreds of lives day in and day out can add up to high levels of stress for pilots. And, for many, uncontrolled stress levels can quickly lead to the desire to “self-medicate” using drugs and alcohol. For this reason, addiction treatment for pilots is an invaluable service.

Here are some statistics on pilots and substance abuse:

• Marijuana is the most often abused drug among pilots.
• The average age of pilots who abuse drugs is older than the average drug user in the general population.
• Some 3.8% of deceased pilots tested positive for illicit drugs from 2008-2012.
• About 11 percent of all pilots involved in aviation accidents tested positive for drug use.

If you or your loved one is a pilot struggling with substance abuse disorder, early treatment is essential for preventing harm to yourself and to others. At Providence Treatment, our clinicians are HIMS trained and certified.  Our treatment programs meet the requirements of HIMS so that we can help pilots rid their lives of drugs and alcohol. We also help pilots cultivate healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with their job stress. In addition, we work closely with chief pilots to ensure a seamless transition back into the workplace.
