Residential Treatment Program for Correctional Officer's
Corrections work requires constant vigilance. But living in a high-risk environment day after day takes a toll. Chateau Health & Wellness provides confidential, evidence-based treatment designed for corrections officers who face unique mental health and addiction challenges as part of our broader first responder program.
Why Corrections Officers Need Specialized Care
Corrections officers operate in one of the most stressful professions in public service. Daily exposure to violence, manipulation, and hypervigilance creates an environment where mental health struggles are common but rarely discussed.
Research shows 1 in 3 corrections officers experience PTSD symptoms and more than 30% report depression (Berkeley News, PSHRA). Suicide risk is alarmingly high, with nearly 10% having seriously considered suicide, and 71% never told anyone about their thoughts. Despite these risks, stigma and mistrust of employer-based support keep many COs from getting the help they need. At Chateau Health & Wellness, we understand those barriers — and we provide confidential care designed with COs in mind.
