Drug and Alcohol Treatment for Railroaders

Helping Lives & Careers Get Back on Track

Addiction affects people in all lines of work, but it can be catastrophic when a 200-ton locomotive is involved. From 2017 to 2021, post-accident drug test positivity rates rose 41.9% for federally mandated, safety-sensitive workers, including railroaders, signaling a dangerous and growing problem. Our railroad program is a community of compassionate, qualified professionals who understand the railroad industry and all the problems it is facing. That is why we are committed to mapping out the proper course to sobriety for each railroader who walks through our door.

Addiction Treatment for Railroaders

Designed by professionals with expertise in treating substance use disorders and a deep understanding of recovery and the railroad industry, our Railroad Program offers customized treatment plans to meet each patient’s needs, plus FRA and EAP requirements. Our program liaisons guide patients from admission to follow-up care, helping them chart a new course toward sobriety for a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life and career.

Return To Work
