As one of the world’s leading tech companies, Intel employs thousands of high-performing individuals in demanding roles—roles that can take a toll on mental health and lead to drug or alcohol misuse. At Ocean Ridge Treatment & Recovery, we understand the unique pressures faced by professionals working at Intel.
Our drug and alcohol rehab programs are designed specifically for professionals like you. We offer compassionate, confidential care in a serene coastal setting, helping Intel employees regain control of their lives without judgment. If you’re struggling with addiction, we’re here to support your recovery with personalized treatment options tailored to your needs.
High-Stress Work Environments at Intel and Their Link to Addiction
Working at Intel often means being part of fast-paced innovation, tight project deadlines, and global collaboration. Many employees take pride in their roles but face constant pressure to perform, problem-solve, and deliver cutting-edge results.
Engineers, IT specialists, managers, and other professionals may find themselves working long hours, sacrificing sleep, and skipping breaks. Over time, this intense workload can lead to anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. Some individuals may turn to substances—such as Adderall, alcohol, or opioids—as a way to cope or stay productive. Unfortunately, these short-term fixes can become long-term problems.
The Importance of Treating Substance Use Early
Addiction is a progressive condition—it often starts with casual or occasional use and slowly escalates. Treating substance use early is critical to prevent serious consequences, including health complications, job loss, strained relationships, or legal issues.
When addressed in the early stages, recovery is often more manageable. You’re able to retain more of your support systems, your career stability, and your personal sense of identity. Rather than being a sign of weakness, seeking treatment is a powerful step toward preserving what you’ve worked hard for.
Why Specialized Drug & Alcohol Rehab Is Vital for Intel Employees
Intel employees need specialized care that respects the nature of their work. You may be balancing sensitive projects, managing teams, or working in classified environments where discretion is essential. That’s why rehab for Intel professionals must go beyond traditional programs.
At Ocean Ridge, we tailor our treatment to match your professional lifestyle. Our goal is to help you heal without jeopardizing your career. We prioritize privacy, professionalism, and long-term success.
Our Drug Rehab for Intel Employees
Our drug rehab services address a wide range of substances, including stimulants, opioids, benzodiazepines, and more. We offer medical detox (if needed), one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and relapse prevention planning.
Intel employees often need a treatment plan that accounts for work stress, long-term deadlines, and problem-solving responsibilities. Our drug rehab program helps you learn to manage these triggers in healthier ways, while teaching you skills to stay focused and sober in the long run.
Our Alcohol Rehab for Intel Employees
Alcohol is a common way for many professionals to unwind, but over time, casual drinking can spiral into dependence. Our alcohol rehab program for Intel employees is designed to address both the physical and emotional aspects of alcohol use.
We use evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and peer support groups to guide you toward recovery. Whether you’re dealing with binge drinking, daily use, or weekend overuse, our program offers a safe path to a healthier lifestyle.

Using the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to Attend Rehab
If you’re hesitant to seek treatment due to work obligations, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may offer protection. Under FMLA, eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to receive medical care, including substance abuse treatment.
At Ocean Ridge, we can help you understand how FMLA works, communicate with your HR department (with your permission), and provide documentation to support your leave request—all while keeping your privacy intact.
Accessing Rehab Through Intel’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Many Intel employees have access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which offers free and confidential support for mental health and substance use concerns. Your EAP can help you:
- Get referred to our rehab program
- Cover the cost of initial assessments
- Coordinate short-term counseling or crisis support
- Navigate the process of taking time off work
Our admissions team works directly with EAP programs and can guide you through the steps of using these benefits to access the care you need.
