Specialized First Responder Treatment Services
Services & Programs We Offer
Acadia Healthcare’s Service Resiliency Unit (SRU) helps first responders and law enforcement officers navigate the behavioral health treatment landscape from start to finish.
If you, a fellow public safety officer, or a member of your family needs guidance, one of our public safety liaisons can work with you to find the most appropriate type and level of care for your clinical and financial situation.
Your SRU liaison will assist with the admissions process, coordinate your care, and prepare you for continued success after you complete mental health or substance use disorder treatment.
The Importance of Confidentiality
Confidentiality is crucial to mental health and substance use disorder treatment, and we understand the greater emphasis on privacy in the law enforcement community.
Our SRU team liaisons maintain confidentiality throughout the entire treatment process and ensure that your placement is fully HIPAA-compliant.
Available Resources
We offer an extensive array of resources to provide first responders, law enforcement officers, and their families with additional support and guidance. Explore news articles from leading experts in the behavioral healthcare industry, educational guides, video testimonials, and much more.

Understanding Public Safety
The facilities in our network are culturally competent in treating the first responder community. We strategically place members of our SRU team across the country to increase access to care. This also allows us to form partnerships with healthcare professionals who already serve clients with addictions, chronic pain, mood disorders, eating disorders, mental health concerns, and trauma-related diagnoses.

Helping Our Public Servants
First responders and members of law enforcement experience trauma almost daily, and the cumulative effects of these experiences have led many to struggle with addiction and mental health concerns.
First responders and members of law enforcement experience trauma almost daily, and the cumulative effects of these experiences have led many to struggle with addiction and mental health concerns. Police officers, firefighters, healthcare workers, and other public servants often face a greater stigma when it comes to reaching out for professional help. But getting first responders treatment that addresses their unique experiences is essential to helping them regain control from the symptoms that have disrupted their lives. The work Acadia Healthcare’s Service Resiliency Unit team does supports better treatment outcomes, helping public servants return to work and their communities.
