揭秘:CEO上哪里戒毒
????安娜?大衛(wèi)是RehabReviews.com的總編輯,這家網(wǎng)站上有將近900家戒毒康復(fù)機(jī)構(gòu)的評(píng)論。你可以將它看作點(diǎn)評(píng)網(wǎng)站Yelp.com的戒毒康復(fù)機(jī)構(gòu)版本。大衛(wèi)也是一名正在康復(fù)的癮君子。她表示,以她自己的經(jīng)驗(yàn)看,有毒癮的首席執(zhí)行官絕不罕見(jiàn),而一般的醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)很難滿(mǎn)足他們的需求。 ????她說(shuō):“面向這一人群的康復(fù)機(jī)構(gòu)正如雨后春筍般涌現(xiàn)。其中有不少業(yè)主都曾染上毒癮,后來(lái)幡然醒悟,最終取得了事業(yè)上的成功。他們完全知道如何治療這類(lèi)人,因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)?jīng)是其中的一員?!?/p> ????這些康復(fù)機(jī)構(gòu)可不便宜。大衛(wèi)說(shuō),每月收費(fèi)10萬(wàn)美元的高端康復(fù)機(jī)構(gòu)也并非聞所未聞。不過(guò)她也表示,對(duì)首席執(zhí)行官來(lái)說(shuō),這些地方是理想的放松和康復(fù)場(chǎng)所。 ????她說(shuō):“這些地方配備了最優(yōu)秀的治療師、1000針的高級(jí)面料床單、復(fù)古的全天然素食盛宴……這會(huì)鼓勵(lì)更多人前來(lái)接受治療,并最終在那里康復(fù)。我看到了令人驚訝的轉(zhuǎn)變……來(lái)到療養(yǎng)院的人里,有你能想到的最聲名昭著的討厭鬼,他們?cè)谶@里恢復(fù)了精神上的活力,出院時(shí)已是一個(gè)完全不同的人?!?/p> ????康復(fù)所向高管提供了許多不同的治療選擇,它們的方法、理念和價(jià)格都有所不同。日前接受《財(cái)富》采訪(fǎng)時(shí),一些提供這類(lèi)治療服務(wù)的專(zhuān)業(yè)人士暢談了他們的看法。 ????創(chuàng)新360 ????創(chuàng)新360(Innovation360)位于德克薩斯州,在達(dá)拉斯和沃斯堡都設(shè)有門(mén)診所。臨床心理學(xué)家凱文?吉利蘭德在達(dá)拉斯診所工作,他估計(jì)病人在中心接受第一個(gè)月的治療需要花費(fèi)1.5萬(wàn)至2.5萬(wàn)美元。他說(shuō),酒精是他最常見(jiàn)到的讓高管上癮的東西。 ????他表示:“酒精是合法的,人們將它視為娛樂(lè)和商業(yè)的一部分,而且有些客戶(hù)期待你用酒精招待他們。” ????對(duì)許多這類(lèi)病人來(lái)說(shuō),他們成功的標(biāo)志也是他們接受治療的障礙。他們通常不能被公司解雇,而且十分富裕,以至于沒(méi)有人能通過(guò)威脅解雇他們來(lái)讓其接受治療。盡管“高處不勝寒”已是陳詞濫調(diào),但用這句話(huà)來(lái)形容那些有酒癮的首席執(zhí)行官的確再恰當(dāng)不過(guò)。 ????他表示:“人們寧愿選擇酒精或毒品,而不是發(fā)展重要的人際關(guān)系,來(lái)幫助他們應(yīng)對(duì)崗位上的挑戰(zhàn)。”對(duì)那些十分在意公眾形象而不愿尋求治療的高管來(lái)說(shuō),這一點(diǎn)尤其如此。 ????他說(shuō):“首席執(zhí)行官和高管都很注重聲譽(yù),這也是理所當(dāng)然的事情。如果你知道管理你血汗錢(qián)和退休金的對(duì)沖基金經(jīng)理嗜酒如命,你怎么能睡一個(gè)安穩(wěn)覺(jué)?” ????海瑟頓?貝蒂?福特基金會(huì) ????海瑟頓?貝蒂?福特基金會(huì)(Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation)是全球最大的非盈利治療提供商?;饡?huì)的公共關(guān)系代表克里斯汀?安德森表示,住院治療一個(gè)月的費(fèi)用大約是3.3萬(wàn)美元。 ????首席醫(yī)療官、醫(yī)學(xué)博士馬文?D?斯帕拉表示,治療高管最大的障礙是他們的領(lǐng)袖心態(tài)——諷刺的是,正是這種心態(tài)讓他們?nèi)〉昧顺晒Α?/p> ????他說(shuō):“我們的治療方法主要是集體治療,這要求人們分享他們的問(wèn)題,表達(dá)他們的感受。你可以想象,手握重權(quán)的高管很難做到這一點(diǎn)?!?/p> ????或許很難說(shuō)服他們采用這種方式,但他表示,“集體背景”是基金會(huì)治療流程中必不可少的環(huán)節(jié)。 ????他說(shuō):“那些上癮者很容易意識(shí)到其他人身上出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題,但要發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有同樣的問(wèn)題則難得多。集體治療讓人們能認(rèn)識(shí)到其他人的毛病——最終他們會(huì)開(kāi)始審視和承認(rèn)自己的問(wèn)題。” ????基金會(huì)還會(huì)預(yù)測(cè)病人結(jié)束治療后的狀況,準(zhǔn)備了各種資源來(lái)幫助那些進(jìn)展不順的病人,因?yàn)檫@種情況是難免的。 ????他說(shuō):“我們提供的服務(wù)包括評(píng)估、住院和門(mén)診治療、有條理的生活、持續(xù)的看護(hù)、家庭項(xiàng)目、社群社區(qū)、父母康復(fù)團(tuán)、父母指導(dǎo)、兒童項(xiàng)目和預(yù)防項(xiàng)目。我們整合了成癮治療和心理健康治療的方法,以同時(shí)解決這兩個(gè)問(wèn)題?!?/p> |
????Anna David is Editor-in-Chief of RehabReviews.com, a website with reviews of nearly 900 drug rehabilitation facilities. Think of it as a Yelp.com for drug rehabs.David is also a recovering addict, and she said that in her experience, the CEO with an addiction is by no means a rarity, and neither is the treatment facility catering to his or her needs. ????“Rehabs targeting this demographic have started popping up seemingly every second,” she said. “Many of these rehab owners are addicts who got sober, became quite successful as a result, and know exactly how to treat these people, because they are these people.” ????These facilities aren’t exactly cheap — David said that at the high end, the $100,000-a-month inpatient facility is not unheard of — but she also said that they’re ideal for easing a chief executive officer into recovery. ????“Having the best therapists around, 1000-count sheets and an all-organic, ‘paleo,’ vegetarian, what-have-you meal plan… will encourage more of them to go to treatment, and ultimately to thrive there,” she said. “I’ve seen amazing transformations… people who come into rehab with the most entitled, obnoxious personalities imaginable, who end up having spiritual awakenings that cause them to check out as different people.” ????There are different treatment options available to executives, all with different approaches, philosophies and costs. Fortune spoke to some of the professionals who offer them, and got their observations. ????Innovation360 ????Situated in Texas, Innovation360 is an outpatient facility with locations in Dallas and Fort Worth. Clinical psychologist Kevin Gilliland operates out of the Dallas facility, and he estimated that patients pay between $15,000 and $25,000 for their first month of treatment at the center. He said that alcohol is the substance that he most frequently sees executives struggling with. ????“It’s legal, it’s accepted as part of entertainment and business, and even expected by some clients,” he said. ????For many of these patients, the barriers to treatment that they encounter are also signs of their success. They often can’t be fired, they’re too wealthy for anyone to force them into treatment by threatening to cut them off, and although “l(fā)onely at the top” is a well-worn cliché, it’s no less true of the CEO with an addiction. ????“People will choose alcohol or drugs over developing significant relationships that can help them manage the challenges of the position,” he said. This is especially true of executives who are too image-conscious to seek treatment. ????“CEOs and senior executives are all concerned about perception, and rightly so,” he said. “How well would you sleep if you knew your hedge fund manager watching over your hard-earned money and retirement has an alcohol addiction?” ????Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation ????The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is the world’s largest nonprofit treatment provider. According to public relations representative Christine Anderson, one month of inpatient treatment costs approximately $33,000. ????Chief Medical Officer Marvin D. Seppala, M.D. said that the biggest hurdle in treating the executive is the alpha dog mentality – ironically the very thing that made him or her successful in the first place. ????“Our treatment is primarily accomplished with group therapy, which requires that people share their problems and express their feelings,” he said. “As you can imagine, this does not come naturally for most high-powered executives.” ????It may not be an easy sell, but he said that the group setting is essential to the way the Foundation provides treatment. ????“It is much easier for those with addiction to recognize problems in others than to see the exact same problem manifesting in their own lives,” he said. “Group therapy allows for initial recognition of someone else’s shortcomings — ultimately the individual begins to see and admit to their own problems as well.” ????The Foundation also looks ahead to what happens when a patient has finished treatment, and offers a variety of resources to help when the going gets tough, as it inevitably will. ????“We offer assessments, residential and outpatient treatment, structured living, continuing care, family programs, social communities, parent recovery groups, parent coaching, children’s programs, and prevention programs,” he said. “We integrate addiction and mental health treatment so that both issues are addressed at the same time.” |
