Assisting a loved one, who also happens to be a first responder, to recover from substance abuse can result in many unexpected responses. While we genuinely want what is best for family, friends, and our closest colleagues, the strain of addiction impacts more people than the individual experiencing it. The repercussions of addictive behavior usually extend to the person’s family, immediate social circle, colleagues at work, and beyond.

The Overrun

MARCH 27, 2022

I apologize in advance to Sebastian Junger and his excellent book, The Perfect Storm. If you’ve read it or seen the movie with Mark Wahlberg; (and you should read the book), you know it’s about a combination of circumstances that come together in an unprecedented way to cause devastation. It was a best-seller and blockbuster movie, because who doesn’t like watching disasters?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), over 30 percent of first responders suffer from a mental health condition, including post-traumatic stress (PTS). With the rise in critical incidents against civilians and towards our men and women in uniform, first responders must be able to identify PTS. PTS is a response to experiencing a shocking tragedy or a terrifying event accompanied by a physical or emotional reaction.
