Addiction Treatment for Nevada Transportation & Logistics Workers
Your benefits or EAP may help cover treatment. We verify confidentially and for free — your employer and union are never notified.
Long hauls, tight delivery windows, overnight warehouse shifts, and weeks away from family — transportation and logistics work is isolating in a way few other jobs are. Stimulants to stay awake, alcohol to come down, painkillers for a back that has absorbed twenty years of loading docks: the pattern is common, and it is treatable.
For commercial drivers there is an added reality: DOT regulations and testing. Getting ahead of a substance problem voluntarily — before a failed test — keeps far more options open for your career and your CDL.
What Makes Your Work Different
The DOT clock
A failed or refused DOT test triggers the formal return-to-duty process. Seeking treatment before that happens is a fundamentally better position — medically, legally, and professionally.
Stimulants and the schedule
Using stimulants to make hours and alcohol or sedatives to sleep creates a cycle that wrecks both. Medical detox breaks the cycle safely, and sleep restoration is a core part of our care.
Isolation on the road
Recovery is hard alone, and the road is the definition of alone. Our aftercare planning builds a support structure that works with a driving or shift-work life — including phone and virtual supports.
Your Questions, Answered Straight
Will treatment automatically cost me my CDL?
No. Voluntarily seeking treatment is not the same as a DOT violation. If you are already in a return-to-duty process, treatment with a licensed provider is typically a required step — we can coordinate with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) when you want us to.
Does union or employer insurance cover rehab for drivers?
Most transportation union health plans include substance use benefits, and federal parity law requires addiction coverage comparable to other medical care. We verify your plan for free, confidentially.
How long would I be off the road?
Medical detox typically takes 5–10 days; residential treatment commonly runs 30–60 days. Many drivers schedule treatment between contracts or during slow season. We help you plan it.
Is what I tell you private?
Yes. Substance use treatment records have extra federal protection beyond standard medical privacy. Nothing is shared with an employer, union, or the DOT without your written consent.
