"Cleared for recovery, cleared for flight!"

At Confidential Recovery, we value a personalized, comprehensive, and effective approach to pilot wellness. Our goal is to provide a supportive continuum that that incorporates a consideration of physical, mental and cognitive health and promotes pilot vitality, mission readiness, flight-safety and protects the Federal Airspace.

We understand the particular challenges of being a pilot and the consequences of a wrong diagnosis. We promote recovery versus compliance and illuminate emotional “blind spots” to minimize the probability of relapse. By doing this we enhance recovery and help the aviator navigate the HIMS and FAA processes.

Learn more on our site here: https://www.confidentialrecovery.com/pilots-program/ and call us at (619) 752-7590 to have a confidential and complimentary assessment of your situation.

Scott H. Silverman's decades of advocacy for those struggling with issues like addiction and housing insecurity was recognized recently by the creation of a Wikipedia entry for him.

For someone who spends their time working primarily with individuals , this distinction is especially meaningful. It is a testament to decades of working compassionately to reduce the stigma of addiction, one day at a time, and one person at a time.

Wikipedia's volunteer editorial community operates without bias, without pay, and without any interest in reputation management. Their only standard is significance. Having this neutral, global platform recognize that Scott's contributions are significant is more than an honor. It's a validation of the lives he has touched along the way.

Telehealth (Remote) Counseling

Our program accommodates those who want to access individual and group counseling sessions remotely.

We do require that the person come in for an initial consultation and prefer that our clients attend 'in-person' some of the time.

However, telehealth has really been a great way for our recovering clients to get the benefits of our evidence-based sobriety support system which relies on connection with others in the recovery community.

We have helped travelling pilots, injured persons who are hospitalized, and a variety of other clients who have a constraint on their location via telemedicine.

Call us at (619) 752-7590 today to sign up, and for more information, go here: https://www.confidentialrecovery.com/telehealth/.

Why do 21% of attorneys qualify as problem drinkers*?

There are several systemic factors about this career which greatly contribute to excessive drinking and drug use. Some of them are:

- A culture of hazing and overworking young associates
- Lack of adequate sleep, exercise, and healthy routines
- The isolation of attorneys from their families due to long case hours
- The adversarial nature of legal battles trigger "fight or flight" responses and then celebration or drowning sorrows depending on the outcome

The stigma around asking for help for problematic drug or alcohol use is very high due to the obsession with "billable hours" and the need to appear strong and confident for the client.

But, as we know, addiction is insidious and progressive and any legal professional would be so much better off seeking help before a crisis hits (divorce, DUI, or worse).

First responders face high rates of addiction, mental health disorders, and su***de. As Confidential Recovery has become such a popular location for veterans (and now active-duty military) to receive outpatient drug rehabilitation for addiction, it makes sense that first responders would also do well in our programs, as 20% or more are made up of veterans.

Our program's privacy and competency is valued by:

- Law Enforcement Professionals, Dispatch workers, and Public Safety Professionals
- Firefighters
- Corrections Workers

Our outpatient program designed for working adults who are employed and live at home. Our clients are high-functioning individuals who share the need for treatment in a confidential environment.

We offer substance abuse and mental heatlh treatment to firefighters, EMS, corrections, dispatch, and other public safety professionals.

Let us be direct about why physicians don't seek treatment for addiction: they're afraid it will end their careers. And, unfortunately, that fear is not completely unfounded due to systemic issues in the medical field. This is in stark contrast to how the FAA handles pilots who need treatment for a substance addiction.

The key is to get help before crisis occurs. Unfortunately there are many things that work against physicians doing so, like the insidious gradually progression of addiction, and the doctors' sense of invincibility. Since everyone looks to them for answers, they are convinced they will be able to taper off the medication that they often are prescribing or diverting to themselves.
