Between long shifts, the pressure to be at your best, and the emotional toll of caring for others, burnout often becomes an unwelcome companion. But what happens when a glass of wine after work or a prescription meant to relieve stress starts feeling like the only way to get through the day? You’re not alone. Studies show that 10% to 15% of healthcare professionals struggle with substance abuse at some point in their careers. The high-stakes nature of this field makes it uniquely vulnerable. While healthcare workers are trained to handle intense situations and make quick, life-saving decisions, even the strongest among us can find it difficult to carry this weight alone. Sometimes, substances can feel like a temporary escape. When you’re constantly giving of yourself, it’s easy to overlook your own needs or tell yourself, “I can handle it. ” But the truth is, no one is invincible. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and as healthcare providers, we’re at an even higher risk because of our job demands. Let’s take a closer look at why healthcare professionals are especially susceptible to addiction—and how stepping back to assess your well-being might be the best decision you make today.

The perceived financial burden it would place on a person or their family becomes a deterrent. However, many insurance providers, like UnitedHealthcare insurance, can provide access to coverage and affordability to many Florida residents.

As a result, you likely have addiction center insurance coverage, but you might not have known it yet. The cost of treatment varies depending on the provider and the program. Inpatient programs, for example, are more expensive than outpatient programs.

The proper treatment program will treat the underlying causes of addiction, such as mental health conditions that can sometimes lead to addiction.

Contact us today at 813. 212. 7149 to learn more about our specialty services in Tampa, Florida that support dual diagnoses. What Is a Dual Diagnosis? A dual diagnosis is established when a substance use disorder (SUD) exists in conjunction with a mental disorder. The human body and brain are incredibly complex. Often, the mental disorder exists simultaneously or precedes and contributes to the development of the addiction. Once established, the addictive disorder can worsen the mental condition. It is also well established that addictive disorders can, in fact, cause and mimic the psychiatric condition and will disappear in time once the SUD is appropriately addressed and treated. What Conditions Commonly Occur in a Dual Diagnosis? A host of disorders and symptoms lead to a dual diagnosis, including, but not limited to:AnxietyDepressionInsomniaEating disorderPanic disorderObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)Bipolar disorderPersonality disordersPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)Attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)Social phobiaIt is often difficult to establish which came first—substance use disorder or the behavioral or psychiatric disorder.

An IOP is a structured treatment program that allows clients to receive high-quality addiction care while continuing to live at home or in a sober living environment. Unlike inpatient rehab, IOP programs do not require 24/7 residency. Instead, clients attend several sessions per week, including therapy, group support, and educational services. IOPs are ideal for people who:Have completed a higher level of care like residential rehabRequire more flexibility due to work or family responsibilitiesAre motivated to stay sober and committed to recovery Start Your Journey Differences Between IOP and Other Levels of Care Inpatient Programs: Inpatient or residential treatment programs require patients to stay at the facility 24/7, providing round-the-clock care and support.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of treatment program that provides intensive and structured care for people with mental health disorders or substance use disorders. This level of addiction treatment is a great step down from acute care or a suitable step up from outpatient care. PHPs usually involve both group and individual therapy sessions, as well as other types of activities and services, such as holistic therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and recovery support planning. These programs typically run for several hours each day, but participants typically return home or to a sober living environment at the end of each day. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=fs3IpHaD174 The Day-Night PHP at 7 Summit Pathways At 7 Summit Pathways, our day-night PHP provides unique opportunities for our patients to receive constant support from our team.

Tailored Addiction Treatment Addiction is nonselective. It can impact anyone at any point in their life after being exposed to drugs or alcohol.

Focused addiction treatment can bring relatable scenarios and challenges to the table so people struggling with addiction can find real solutions to their daily triggers. By applying these ideals to the partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or outpatient programming at 7 Summit Pathways, we can develop meaningful bonds for true healing. Our medical director, Dr. Lawrence Wilson, facilitates four hours of profession-specific groups per week. During these sessions, he uses his own journey and medical science to inform professionals about their recovery process.

While many couples enjoy occasional drinks together, alcohol can quickly transform from a social activity into a destructive force that undermines trust, communication, and intimacy. If you're questioning whether drinking has become a problem in your relationship, you're already recognizing important warning signs that deserve attention. At 7 Summit Pathways in Tampa, Florida, we understand that alcohol affects not just individuals but entire relationship systems. Research shows that alcohol-related problems contribute to higher divorce rates, reduced relationship satisfaction, and increased conflict between partners. The good news is that recognizing these patterns early can help you take action before irreparable damage occurs. Call 813. 212. 7149 How Alcohol Affects Relationships Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that can radically change how we think, feel, and behave. When we drink, alcohol affects areas of the brain responsible for decision-making, impulse control, emotional regulation, and memory formation. These changes make it difficult to maintain the consistent, caring behavior that healthy relationships require. People drink for various reasons in relationships: to relax after stressful days, to socialize and have fun, to cope with relationship difficulties, or to avoid dealing with underlying problems. When alcohol becomes the primary coping mechanism for relationship stress, it creates a destructive cycle that worsens the very problems it's meant to solve.

Two terms that are often confused or used interchangeably are "residential addiction treatment" and "inpatient treatment.

At 7 Summit Pathways in Tampa, Florida, we understand that choosing the right level of care is crucial for successful recovery. This comprehensive guide will help you understand the key differences between residential and inpatient treatment, so you can make an informed decision about which option best fits your needs. Quick Answer: The Key Difference Inpatient Treatment is short-term medical care (days to weeks) focused on detox and crisis stabilization in a hospital-like setting. Residential Addiction Treatment is longer-term therapeutic care (weeks to months) focused on comprehensive recovery, therapy, and skill-building in a home-like environment. At 7 Summit Pathways, our residential program is also called inpatient treatment because it provides 24/7 live-in care, but it's therapeutically focused rather than medically intensive. Call 813. 212. 7149 Understanding the Confusion: Why These Terms Are Mixed Up The confusion between residential and inpatient treatment stems from the fact that both involve living at a treatment facility.

At 7 Summit Pathways in Tampa, Florida, we understand that every person's mental health journey is unique. Our residential mental health treatment programs are designed to provide the time and support needed for meaningful healing, whether that's weeks or months.

One of the most critical—and often misunderstood—steps is **medical detox**. But what is medical detox, exactly, and why is it such an important part of the recovery journey? In this guide, we'll break down what medical detox is, how it works, and what you can expect, so you can feel informed, supported, and empowered to take the next step. Let's Talk What Is Medical Detox? Medical detoxification, or medical detox, is the process of clearing substances like drugs or alcohol from the body in a safe, supervised environment. It involves medical monitoring and may include medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, prevent complications, and ensure your physical and emotional safety. Detox is not treatment in itself, but it’s often the essential first step before entering a residential or outpatient addiction treatment program. Detox Treatment Why Is Medical Detox Necessary?

When stress, burnout, and access to addictive substances collide, even the most capable clinicians can struggle with substance use disorders. For many in the medical field, the fear of seeking help is tied to a terrifying question: "Will I lose my medical license if I go to treatment? " This concern keeps far too many professionals suffering in silence. But here’s the truth: seeking help is not a career-ending move. In fact, addressing addiction early can protect your license, your patients, and your future. At 7 Summit Pathways in Tampa, FL, we work with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals every day who are navigating this very fear. The good news? Confidential support exists. And in most cases, choosing treatment is a step toward renewal—not revocation. Let's Talk Understanding the Real Risk: Myth vs. Reality The belief that getting help means losing your license is one of the most damaging myths in healthcare. While it's true that substance use can pose a risk to licensure, what most boards look for is accountability, safety, and recovery. Medical licensing boards across the U. S. recognize that addiction is a treatable condition—not a moral failing. That’s why many states offer access to Physician Health Programs (PHPs) and similar confidential pathways. These programs are designed to support, monitor, and help professionals return to safe practice. Your proactive effort to seek treatment may even help preserve your license.

Between long shifts, emotional trauma, and constant high-pressure decisions, it’s easy for doctors, nurses, and support staff to slip into unhealthy coping mechanisms. But how do you recognize the warning signs—especially when those struggling are trained to hide them? We will break down the early and advanced signs of substance abuse in healthcare workers and what to do if you see them. Addiction among healthcare workers is not as uncommon as it may seem. According to a study published in the American Journal on Addictions, approximately 10-15% of healthcare professionals will misuse substances at some point in their career (Baldisseri, 2007). Recognizing the signs early can be life-changing for the individual and their patients. In this blog, we explore the key indicators of addiction in healthcare professionals and how colleagues, employers, and loved ones can support recovery. Let's Talk Why Healthcare Workers Are at Risk for Addiction Healthcare professionals operate under intense, often chronic stress. From long shifts and emotional labor to repeated exposure to trauma, the demands of the job take a toll. Add easy access to controlled substances and a cultural expectation to "push through," and it becomes clear why so many turn to substances to cope. Healthcare professionals also have unique access to medications like opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, increasing the risk for misuse. Unfortunately, due to stigma and fear of professional consequences, many suffer in silence.

But when stress becomes chronic and overwhelming, it can evolve into something much more serious: burnout. For many healthcare professionals, burnout isn't just about being tired. It's a deep, persistent state of emotional and physical exhaustion that can lead to dangerous coping mechanisms, including substance misuse. At 7 Summit Pathways, located in Tampa, FL, we've seen firsthand how unchecked burnout in physicians, nurses, therapists, and frontline staff can result in addiction. This article explores how burnout manifests in healthcare workers, why it often goes unnoticed, and what steps can be taken toward recovery. Let's Talk What is Burnout in Healthcare? Burnout is a recognized syndrome stemming from prolonged workplace stress that hasn't been successfully managed. It's especially prevalent in high-stakes professions like healthcare, where long hours, emotional labor, and the weight of responsibility wear down even the most resilient individuals. Common signs of burnout in healthcare professionals include: Emotional exhaustion: Constant fatigue that rest doesn’t fix Depersonalization: Feeling detached or cynical about patients Reduced personal accomplishment: Feeling ineffective or unmotivated These symptoms can lead to what's often described as "mental health exhaustion" – a state where emotional reserves are depleted, hope feels distant, and motivation disappears. Burnout also contributes to presenteeism, poor work-life balance, and increased physical ailments.

Let’s explore the broader meaning of recovery and what it can look like in real life. Let's Talk What Is Recovery? Recovery is a personal process of growth and change, not a one-size-fits-all path. According to SAMHSA, recovery is: “A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. ” In other words, it’s not just about quitting drugs or alcohol—it’s about: Rebuilding your relationships Creating healthier routines Managing emotions without substances Finding purpose and peace Learning how to thrive, not just survive Recovery also includes mental health stability, especially for those with co-occurring disorders.

It involves removing harmful toxins from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision. Detox not only helps stabilize individuals physically but also prepares them for long-term addiction treatment. While both drug detox and alcohol detox serve the same goal, they differ in their withdrawal symptoms, medical treatment, and duration. Alcohol detox follows a more predictable timeline, but carries higher risks, such as delirium tremens (DTs), which can be fatal without proper care. Drug detox varies widely based on the substance used, with some requiring medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and others focusing on symptom management. Why Medical Detox Matters Supervised detox reduces risks of seizures, dehydration, and psychological distress. Certain substances require medication to safely manage withdrawal symptoms.

Yet, for many, they can feel like an insurmountable mountain, overshadowed by stress and emotional challenges. From financial pressures and navigating complex family dynamics to juggling packed schedules, the holidays often transition from festive to overwhelming.

If you’ve ever wondered why the holiday season is so stressful, you’re not alone. Let’s explore practical strategies to help you embrace the season's joy while managing its pressures.

Financial strain is a common culprit—stretching budgets for gifts, decorations, and travel can spark guilt and anxiety. Many feel the weight of keeping up appearances or meeting expectations that often seem unattainable. Family dynamics can also add emotional intensity. Tensions during gatherings, unmet expectations, or strained relationships can amplify feelings of stress.

Whippets, commonly known as “laughing gas,” involve inhaling nitrous oxide—often from whipped cream canisters—to experience a quick, intense high. While nitrous oxide is used legally in medical and dental settings for its anesthetic properties, misuse of this gas has become alarmingly popular among teens and young adults seeking its short-lived euphoria. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), inhalant use, including nitrous oxide, is common among young people, especially due to the ease of access. Because it’s widely available and often mistaken for a harmless “party trick,” many don’t realize that whippets carry serious health risks. Studies have shown that whippet use is far from harmless. The misuse of nitrous oxide has been linked to severe and lasting effects, such as nerve damage, cognitive impairment, and even addiction . Repeated use deprives the brain of oxygen, which can lead to unconsciousness and, in rare cases, sudden death. For parents, it’s critical to understand that what might seem like a “safe” high can have lasting, harmful effects on a young person’s physical and mental well-being. Why Are Whippets So Popular Among Teens and Young Adults? Whippets have become particularly popular among teens and young adults due to their easy accessibility and the rapid high they provide. Nitrous oxide, the gas used in whippets, is found in everyday items like whipped cream cans, making it easy to obtain without drawing attention.

Since its founding in 1935, AA has provided a safe and supportive space for millions of people on their journey toward sobriety. A significant part of AA's identity is its symbol—a simple yet powerful combination of a circle and a triangle. This symbol represents the core principles of the program and serves as a reminder of the unity, service, and recovery that guide members in overcoming addiction. Understanding the meaning behind the AA symbol can offer deeper insight into the program and its role in supporting those seeking a life free from alcohol dependency. Let's Talk History of the AA Symbol The AA symbol, consisting of a circle surrounding a triangle, was officially introduced in the 1950s as a representation of the core values that define Alcoholics Anonymous. The symbol’s origins are deeply connected to the spiritual and practical principles of AA, reflecting the balance and harmony that members seek in recovery. The triangle represents three essential aspects of AA: unity, service, and recovery, while the surrounding circle symbolizes wholeness and inclusivity within the AA fellowship. In the early days, the AA symbol became a fixture in meetings, literature, and medallions, serving as a visual reminder of the program’s goals.

Originally developed to manage pain in cancer patients, Fentanyl is now widely used in various medical settings, from surgery to chronic pain management. However, its strength also makes it incredibly dangerous if misused, leading to a high risk of overdose and death. Understanding how Fentanyl is used medically, along with the associated risks, is essential for healthcare professionals, patients, and families dealing with pain management or addiction. Call 813. 212. 7149 Understanding Fentanyl Fentanyl belongs to a class of drugs known as synthetic opioids, designed to mimic the pain-relieving effects of natural opiates like morphine. What sets Fentanyl apart is its extraordinary potency—it’s roughly 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine and about 50 times stronger than heroin. This potency means even tiny doses can provide significant pain relief, making Fentanyl crucial in treating severe pain, particularly in patients who no longer respond to other opioids. In 1959, Fentanyl was first synthesized by Dr. Paul Janssen, who was searching for a more effective pain reliever. Introduced in the 1960s as an intravenous anesthetic under the brand name Sublimaze, Fentanyl quickly became valuable in surgical and intensive care settings. Over the years, its medical uses expanded which led to the development of various forms such as patches, lozenges, and injectables. These developments have made Fentanyl more accessible for managing pain outside of the operating room and... --- > Mindfulness meditation for recovery will help set the intention of your actions and direct your mindset for meaningful well-being.

Mindfulness Meditation is growing in popularity. There is a huge benefit for those in addiction treatment programs. It supports the mental aspect of battling the urge to relapse back to old addiction habits. Meditation transports one headspace into a present state and to be mindful of each thought, action, or breath. After just a week or so of day-to-day practice, patients begin experiencing calmer thinking, less attachment to emotional ups and downs, less power behind cravings, gratitude, and an increased ability to relax and stay calm when needed. Mindfulness Meditation accompanied with a Recovery program is a powerful accelerator of the Recovery process. Holistic Therapy Options Meditation has been found to lower the levels of the stress hormone Cortisol, increase interleukin levels which enhances the immune system, and streamlines the body’s ability to cleanse itself of chemical toxins. Less toxins means cleaner neurotransmitter receptors meaning less mood swings. Research on Mindfulness Meditation indicates that qualities we once thought immutable that form temperament and character can actually be altered significantly. The more one practices mindfulness meditation, the thicker the brain becomes in the mid-prefrontal cortex and in the mid-insular region of the brain. Changing your thought processes actually causes changes in the brain. By retraining the mind through a consistent mindfulness practice, we create new neural networks. We rewire the brain. And when the brain changes, all else changes accordingly.

It's a concept that changes how we think about and approach health. Many people and treatment programs view health and well-being as the management of disease. While this approach can be useful in removing harmful behaviors and treating illness, it doesn't provide a framework for wellness once the initial issues have been resolved. Embracing wellness means shifting your mindset to prevention and employing proactive strategies to thrive, rather than just survive. Wellness is a conscious and self-directed process with the goal of achieving your full potential. It can be broken down into seven dimensions, all of which overlap and interact in everyday life.

What Is Social Wellness? Humans are by nature a social species. Our social needs are just as essential as biological needs from a wellness perspective.

Shame is when you feel judged by others, whereas, guilt is when you are responsible or regretful of an action. - Published: 2024-08-26 - Modified: 2024-09-03 - URL: https://7summitpathways.com/blog/shame-vs-guilt/ - Categories: Mental Health While you may use shame and guilt to describe your feelings interchangeably, both have negative self-evaluations and feelings. A big difference between shame vs guilt is guilt can help you understand how your actions impact others, however, shame is an inward-facing emotion that reflects how you feel about yourself. During Recovery, guilt can help you move forward while shame keeps you stuck in the past. 7 Summit Pathways can help you recognize the difference between shame and guilt in addiction recovery and help you take one step at a time to move forward to live a life you love. Our team of professionals can evaluate and address underlying mental health disorders and observe signs of substance use disorders that can be a result of shame or guilt. Start Your Journey What Is Shame? Shame, as defined by the dictionary, is a painful emotion arising from the awareness that you or someone else has done something wrong. While it may seem similar to guilt, shame goes deeper, affecting how we perceive ourselves and how we believe others see us. Unlike guilt, which is often tied to specific actions, shame is more about our self-perception and identity. Consider a situation where a friend apologizes for something hurtful they said, but instead of accepting the apology gracefully, you respond with something equally hurtful in return. In this scenario, you might feel guilty for causing your friend pain, but the shame comes from recognizing that your actions don’t align with the person you aspire... --- > We're all guilty of wanting to cross the finish line as fast as we can.

In recovery from substance use addiction, you can motivate yourself to make better choices and be more open to new approaches on your journey to lasting sobriety. The road to recovery will not always be easy, but I will take it one day at a time, focusing on the moments I’ve dreamed about for so long. — Amanda Lindhout What Is Self-Motivation?

The behavior leads to significant physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. For professionals, like those in the healthcare, finance, education, law industries, etc, understanding addiction and the processes for overcoming it is crucial. Detoxification and withdrawal are the initial critical steps in the recovery journey. Detoxification cleanses the body of addictive substances, while withdrawal management ensures this process is as safe and comfortable as possible. This is the beginning stage of laying the foundation for long-term recovery, helping to prevent relapse and promote overall well-being. Start Your Journey Understanding Detoxification What is Detoxification? Detoxification, or in short “detox”, is the process of removing toxic substances from the body. It is the initial step (not the easiest step) in the addiction recovery process. This process is crucial for individuals who have developed a dependency on drugs or alcohol. Detox helps to cleanse the body and prepare it for the subsequent stages of addiction treatment, such as therapy and counseling. Levels of Detoxification Detoxification is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each addict experiences various levels of addiction. The experience is influenced by the substance used, physical health, mental state, and medical conditions. Understanding these addiction levels can determine the best approach to detox that is appropriate and effective. What is Your Best Detox Approach for Your Addiction?

While these terms are often used interchangeably, they describe distinct conditions that require different approaches for effective treatment. Addiction refers to a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences, whereas dependence involves the physical adaptation of the body to a substance, leading to withdrawal symptoms upon cessation. By clearly distinguishing between addiction and dependence, individuals can better recognize their specific challenges and seek appropriate help, ensuring more targeted and effective treatment strategies. Recognizing whether you or your loved one is experiencing addiction or drug dependency can significantly impact the success of the road to recovery. Structured treatment plans that address the unique aspects of each condition can enhance the likelihood of achieving and maintaining sobriety. For instance, treating addiction often involves comprehensive behavioral therapies and support systems to address the psychological components, while managing dependence might focus more on medically supervised detoxification and gradual tapering off the substance. By accurately identifying these conditions, healthcare providers at 7 Summit Pathways in Tampa, FL can deliver more personalized and effective care, ultimately leading to better treatment outcomes and a higher quality of life for individuals struggling with substance abuse.

Do you often wonder what it takes to truly be happy? Understanding the hierarchy of happiness can provide insight into how you can achieve lasting happiness and find purpose. At 7 Summit Pathways, we explore the Four Levels of Happiness to help you navigate your journey toward a more meaningful and content life. The pursuit of happiness is a human characteristic everyone has in common. For many, happiness seems to be an elusive goal, and it's easy to sink into misery and unhappiness. When this happens, people may turn to destructive substitutes like drugs or alcohol to mask the pain. There are many different types of happiness that you can attain: joy, excitement, gratitude, pride, optimism, contentment and love, to name a few. Each person has something unique that makes them happy. As you become more self-aware, you'll be able to reach a new level of contentment. Here, we will look at the different types of happiness as you examine the things in your life that make you happy. What is the Hierarchy of Happiness? The hierarchy of happiness is a concept that categorizes different types of happiness into four distinct levels. These levels range from immediate pleasures to deep, lasting contentment. By understanding and working through these levels, you can achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Unlike physical dependence, which is characterized by the body’s need for a substance, psychological dependence revolves around the mental and emotional aspects that make it difficult to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior. Understanding Psychological Dependence When someone is psychologically dependent on a substance, they may feel compelled to use it to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges. This reliance on the substance can lead to obsessive thoughts about using it, cravings, and difficulty concentrating on anything else. Common signs of psychological dependence include: Cravings: Intense, often overwhelming desire to use the substance. Obsessive Thoughts: Constant preoccupation with obtaining and using the substance. Emotional Distress: Feelings of anxiety, irritability, or depression when unable to use the substance. Understanding the distinction between psychological and physical dependence is crucial in addressing addiction effectively. Psychological dependence often requires comprehensive mental health treatment to address the underlying emotional and cognitive aspects. How Psychological Dependence Develops Psychological dependence typically develops over time as the brain begins to associate the substance or behavior with pleasure and relief from negative emotions. Factors that contribute to the development of psychological dependence include: Emotional Stress: Using substances to cope with emotional pain or stress. Mental Health Issues: Conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma that drive individuals to seek relief through substance use.

Unlike many other addictive substances, alcohol is both legal and socially acceptable in American society. Many religious and secular events, holidays, and activities implicitly assume the presence and consumption of alcohol. However, how alcohol affects mental health is often not discussed or even widely considered by most Americans who are culturally and socially consumers of alcohol. For many Americans, alcohol consumption is part of weddings, Super Bowl parties, New Year's Eve celebrations, after-work happy hours, poker nights, and many other activities and events. However, many of these same Americans develop an alcohol use disorder—responsible drinking becomes alcohol misuse, such as binge drinking and mental health complications, and then leads to alcohol dependency and addiction. The impact of alcohol on mental health takes a toll on not only an individual's health and well-being but their family, friends, and professional relationships. It can lead to legal and financial troubles and, ultimately, the loss of life. 7 Summit Pathways offers alcohol addiction rehab in Tampa, Florida.

In rehab and recovery, meeting and opening up to other people with addictions can help individuals move forward.
