Your career, your license, your reputation, your family. Those are the reasons many professionals wait to ask for help. They are also the best reasons to start. Renovia Behavioral Health offers private, structured outpatient care in Wilmington, NC, with a team that helps you plan around your work.
Call or text 833-813-HELP. We never contact your employer without your written permission.
If Day Treatment (PHP) is the right fit, our team can talk with you about FMLA leave and help with the paperwork.
The picture many people carry of addiction does not look like a manager, a nurse, a contractor, or a business owner. But that is often exactly who it is. Most adults with a substance use disorder have jobs, and many are very good at them.
full-time workers in the United States had a substance use disorder in the past year.
adults who have ever had a drug or alcohol problem say they are in recovery or have recovered.
physicians who went through state physician health programs were still licensed and practicing five years later.

Being high-functioning does not mean you are fine. It usually means you are working very hard to hold everything together. You do not have to wait until something breaks.
Long hours, high stakes, a phone that never stops, and the expectation that you will always have the answer. A drink to unwind or a pill to get through the day can start as a way to cope. Over time, it can become one more thing to manage.
Many professionals worry that asking for help will cost them respect, a promotion, a license, or a job. That fear is real, and it keeps a lot of people silent far longer than they need to be.
Treatment can feel impossible to fit around a career, a family, and everything else on your plate. So it gets pushed to next month, then next quarter. Meanwhile, the problem grows and the stakes get higher.
Asking for help is not a sign that you cannot handle your life. It is a sign that you are taking it seriously.
One of the most common fears we hear is that treatment means the end of a career. The research points the other way. People in recovery tend to be steady, reliable employees.

You may have more protection than you think. Here is a plain-language overview. It is general information, not legal advice, and your situation may be different.
If you qualify, the Family and Medical Leave Act can give you up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for treatment of a serious health condition. Substance use treatment from a provider can qualify.
People in recovery who are not currently using illegal drugs, and people with alcohol use disorder, may be protected from discrimination. You may be able to ask for a reasonable change to your schedule for treatment.
We do not contact your employer, or confirm that you are a client, without your written permission. You decide what is shared and with whom.
FMLA covers time away for treatment. It does not cover absences caused by substance use itself, and an employer may still apply its existing policies. If you are thinking about leave, it is wise to talk with HR or an employment attorney about your specific situation.
Every client starts with a full clinical assessment. A clinician looks at your substance use history, possible withdrawal, your mental health, and the rest of your life, including your work. The recommendation covers all six dimensions of the ASAM Criteria, the national standard for matching people to the right level of care.
If Day Treatment (PHP) five days a week does not fit your life right now, we can start with Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and watch progress closely. If IOP is not enough, we will tell you and help you move up. Changing levels of care is a step toward success, not a punishment.
You live at home and keep your life going. You come to us during the program day.
