Flight Attendant Program in Los Angeles
Irregular schedules, time zones, layovers, and a job that never quite lets you land. Recovery has to work with that, not against it.
A Trusted FADAP Partner Since 2013
We've been a partner of the Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP) since 2013. That collaboration means we work hand in hand with FADAP peer representatives and airline EAPs, so your treatment meets industry standards and supports your recovery from the first call.
Every flight attendant's experience is different. We build each treatment plan around your needs, while complying with FADAP and any required referral guidelines.

Questions people ask about this program
Straight answers about union and airline coordination, scheduling, and coverage.
Will treatment affect my standing with my union or airline?+
We work directly with the Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP), a partnership we've held since 2013, along with peer representatives and airline EAPs. Your specific situation, union leave, and any notification requirements are coordinated individually with our admissions and clinical team, not assumed in advance.
How does a return-to-work timeline get decided?+
It's built around your individual treatment plan and coordinated through FADAP and your airline's EAP, not a fixed schedule. Our team works with you on this directly.
Does entering treatment mean my employer will automatically find out?+
Notification requirements depend on your specific airline, union, and situation. Our admissions team can walk you through what applies to you before you commit to anything.
Can I keep working or stay connected to my schedule while in treatment?+
We talk through bid status, reserve status, and union leave before you commit to anything, so treatment fits around your actual schedule rather than fighting it.
What if I'm on a layover or based somewhere far from Los Angeles?+
Reach out to our admissions team to talk through logistics, our team works with flight crew from across the country, not just those based locally.
Does insurance cover treatment through this program?+
In most cases, yes. We verify your specific benefits, including how union or airline-provided coverage applies, before you commit to anything. We do not currently accept Medi-Cal or Medicare. If that's your coverage, call us, we'll tell you straight away and point you toward a resource that can help.
