What You’re Feeling Might Be More Than Just Stress
When your body and mind stay on alert 24/7, they can start to rebel. This level of stress can disrupt your mental and physical well-being, and show up as:
Irritability
Constant tension and adrenaline make it harder to stay patient or calm, even at home.
Exhaustion
Long shifts and emotional strain leave your body and mind running on empty.
Isolation
After witnessing so much, it can feel easier to withdraw than to open up.
Substance use
Alcohol or drugs may start to feel like the only way to relax or quiet your thoughts.
Many correctional officers don’t realize they’re struggling until it’s already affecting their health or family life.
You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. Recognizing the signs early gives you the best chance to regain control before the job defines every part of your life

Will I still be able to work as a correctional officer?
In most cases, yes. Many correctional officers continue working while in treatment, especially through outpatient or intensive outpatient programs. Bold Steps offers flexible scheduling so you can receive care without stepping away from your responsibilities.
Do I have to tell my supervisor I am getting help?
No. Your treatment is completely confidential. Bold Steps Behavioral Health follows all state and federal privacy laws, including HIPAA, so no one, including your employer, will be notified unless you choose to share that information yourself.
What about cost and insurance coverage?
Bold Steps accepts most major insurance plans, including Pennsylvania-based providers. Our admissions team will verify your insurance and explain any out-of-pocket costs before you begin, so there are no surprises.
How long will I be in treatment?
That depends on your individual needs. Some clients attend treatment for a few weeks, while others continue for several months. We’ll create a personalized plan based on your goals, progress, and life outside of treatment.
What if I tried treatment before and it didn’t work?
You’re not alone—many people need more than one attempt to find what works for them. At Bold Steps, we take a different approach: individualized care, dual diagnosis treatment when needed, and a team that helps you build lasting skills for recovery. Every step forward counts, and it’s never too late to try again.
