First Responder Mental Health Facts

Dedicated First Responder Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment
We admire the work of first responders. We also recognize the many ways they put their lives on the line and how doing so can lead to serious disruptions in their quality of life.
First responder rehab and mental health treatment services at our Florida locations are designed to address the issues themselves and the root cause(s) behind them, including a strong focus on identifiable triggers, betrayal trauma, and the balance of work and family life.
Not everyone can understand the scope of challenges and mental health issues for first responders. As a result, our staff includes both current and former first responders with specialized peer and clinical training. This way, we can ensure an understanding environment with care uniquely centered around their needs and experiences.
What to Expect from Retreat First Responder Rehab Services
Our first responder mental health and rehab program is a 30- to 60-day program created by and for individuals in the EMS, law enforcement, and fire service communities. Our staff comprises licensed psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, and medical personnel, including current and former first responders.
Along with individual counseling and group therapy, we offer cutting-edge therapeutic modalities for the treatment of depression, PTSD, and substance use disorder, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- BrainsWay Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS)
- Rapid Resolution Therapy
- Emotional Freedom Techniques
- Stress Inoculation
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy
- Interpersonal Therapy
We also provide support services for the family members of first responders, many of whom are directly impacted by the traumas and experiences of their loved ones.
First responder mental health and substance use treatment services are available for those with both a single diagnosis and co-occurring disorders. Patients will participate in group therapy twice daily, with an opportunity for individual therapy with specialized therapists. They will also have the opportunity to participate in holistic therapy options such as art therapy, yoga, gardening, and recreational sports.
