Help for Law Enforcement
AAC recognizes the stakes are high every day for law enforcement officers and it’s our responsibility to the heroes who run towards danger instead of away from it. AAC has developed an alcohol and substance abuse treatment program that addresses the specific stressors faced by those who work in the law enforcement field. Our program was developed using input from veteran officers and clinicians who have worked with hundreds of officers.
Levels of Care
Individuals are assigned a level of care based on their individual clinical needs and substance abuse history. AAC is unique in that we offer different law enforcement treatment services based on level of care and services required. Following evaluation of you or your loved one’s addiction severity, you’ll be assigned a level of care and treatment based on individual history and clinical needs. Some clients transition through all levels of care as treatment progresses.
Program Goals
Our programs seek to address the individual addiction needs of you or your loved one and restore the health and stability that substance abuse has taken away, The purpose of this program is to effectively treat officers in need and prepare them to return to the communities they have pledged to “Protect and Serve.”
Who do we treat?
In addition to law enforcement officers, we also treat members of officers’ immediate families. For example, we can effectively treat the spouse of an officer who is addicted to prescription painkillers, or an officer’s teenage son or daughter who is abusing new designer drugs.
Who leads this program?
Our treatment program is led by James Morrison, CADC, BRI-II, a veteran law enforcement professional with decades of experience. Mr. Morrison is a retired Chicago Police Officer, who has spent nine years working in the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and is highly experienced with workplace and family interventions.
Mr. Morrison presented “Liquid Courage: Treating Officers With Alcoholism” at the International Association of Police Chiefs with Dr. Robin Kroll. He has worked with treatment centers across the country to establish protocol for treating law enforcement officers.
Mr. Morrison says, “Michael Cartwright, founder and chairman of American Addiction Centers, has made it his mission to work with the national law enforcement community. The team here is hard at work to ensure this population has access to the best possible treatment available across the country.”
