Being an EMT requires quick thinking, expert-level communication skills, and the ability to manage difficult situations and emotions. It takes a special kind of person to do this day in and day out. The stressors can add up, no matter who you are, creating a need for relief. Many EMTs find this relief in a drunk or drug. Over time, mental and physical dependencies occur, ultimately leading to addiction. At Tree House, we understand the unique struggles of life as an EMT. You have to deal with chaos and trauma while staying calm and collected under pressure. Being a hero on the outside, while dealing with your own issues on the inside can be extremely uncomfortable. When this stress is combined with substances, it’s easy to get trapped in a cycle of addiction and consequences that is nearly impossible to escape alone.
Over 29% of EMTs suffer from depression.
Over 24% of EMTs have PTSD symptoms.
Over 10% of EMTs have a panic disorder.
Everyone who struggles with addiction faces negative consequences. Due to their highly demanding work environment, EMTs are particularly impacted by the repercussions of addiction. These include:
