The helping professions are those who are involved in treating trauma and dealing with disaster. Doctors, nurses, firefighters, psychologists, policemen, and paramedics are all examples of helping professions. People in these professions are exposed to trauma and illness on a daily basis. Clearly this requires a certain personal hardiness to deal with but eventually even the most hardened professional will experience burnout and be affected by what they see and hear at work. Quite a large number of these professionals turn to substance abuse as a means to cope. This is not only harmful to the people they hope to serve but can lead to destruction for the professional. Swift intervention and admission to a drug rehab center in South Africa can help the professional get back on track.
