Rehab for Working Professionals
You can get treatment for addiction without giving up your career. Simonds Recovery Centers offers flexible outpatient options, including evening programming, that let many working professionals keep their jobs while in treatment. For those who need time away, we also help coordinate leave. Either way, your privacy is protected throughout. Call our team to talk through what fits your work and your situation.

Treatment that fits around your job
Many working adults can get treatment while staying employed, using outpatient levels of care that do not require living at the facility. Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is built for exactly this, structured treatment you attend while living at home and, for many people, continuing to work.
Outpatient care runs along a continuum, so the intensity matches your needs and your schedule. A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers the most structured daytime treatment for those who need it, while IOP and standard outpatient require fewer hours and leave more room for work and family. Evening options make it possible for many people to attend treatment outside of working hours. Which level is right depends on a clinical assessment, and our team helps you find the fit.
Rehab for working professionals and executives
Working professionals and executives often delay treatment because they worry about their career, their reputation, or simply being away from the job. Treatment is built to respect those realities, with flexible scheduling and a discreet, professional environment so you can address addiction without your career unraveling.
Many high-responsibility professionals function at work for a long time while privately struggling, which can make asking for help harder, not easier. Our team is used to working with people in demanding careers, including healthcare professionals and others whose work carries real pressure. The goal is straightforward: effective treatment that fits a working life, delivered without judgment.
Confidentiality and your privacy
Your privacy is protected throughout treatment. Your medical information is confidential and protected by law, and we do not share it with your employer or anyone else without your consent. Seeking treatment is a private medical decision, and it is treated that way here.
If you choose to use job-protected leave or short-term disability, some documentation does get shared with your employer or plan administrator as part of that process, but that is limited to what the leave requires, not your full clinical record. You decide how much to disclose and to whom, and our team can help you understand your options before you start.
If you need time off work
If your treatment does require time away from work, you may be able to take job-protected leave through the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and short-term disability may replace part of your income, depending on your plan. A case manager can help coordinate the paperwork with your employer.
Because eligibility and protections depend on your employer and the law, our guide to taking leave from work for rehab covers FMLA, job protection, and disability in detail. For anything specific to your situation, your HR department or an employment attorney is the right source.
Returning to work after treatment
Finishing treatment is not the end of support, and returning to work is part of the plan. We help with return-to-work planning so the transition back is steady rather than abrupt, which can include thinking through your schedule and workload as you re-enter.
Recovery continues after structured treatment ends. Our alumni and aftercare program keeps you connected to ongoing support, and continuing therapy through outpatient care helps protect the progress you made while you settle back into work and daily life.
Insurance and getting started
Most major insurance plans cover outpatient addiction treatment. We work with carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Humana, among others, and our admissions team verifies your benefits before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while in rehab?
