The holiday season is here! Normally, we equate the months of Thanksgiving through the New Year with festive celebrations and good cheers. However, for some, this time of year serves as a painful contrast to the joy that fills other’s lives, but maybe not our own.
The Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program is a specialized program just for flight attendants and their family members afflicted or affected by substance abuse.
It’s called FADAP (The Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program).
If you answer yes to any of the below questions, your drinking maybe putting you and/or your job at risk.
The Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP) can help you:
- Identify if you have a substance use problem needing professional assistance;
- Refer you into flight attendant specialized treatment services and
- Support you in your recovery journey.
