INTRO
You show up. Through early calls, long shifts, and conditions most people would not last a day in, you do the work and you take care of your own. So when drinking or use starts to get out of hand, the idea of stepping away, of word getting back to the hall or the jobsite, can feel like too much to risk.
At iRely Recovery, we understand that pressure. Our program in Los Angeles is built for tradespeople and union members who need real treatment without losing their privacy, their standing, or their livelihood. Here you are never just a case to manage. You are a person we are going to help get back to work and back to life.
What Is Rehab for Union Workers?
Rehab for union workers is addiction treatment built around the realities of the trades. It delivers the same clinical depth as any high-quality residential program, with medically supervised detox, evidence-based therapy, and dual-diagnosis care, plus attention to chronic pain, injury-related dependence, and the pressure of physically demanding work.
For many tradespeople, the barrier is not the cost or the care. It is the fear that stepping away means losing hours, losing standing, or letting the crew down. Treatment exists to remove those barriers, so getting well does not have to cost you everything you have built on the job.
At iRely Recovery, that care happens in a private, luxury setting in Sherwood Forest, not an institution and never a crowd.
Is This You?
Many of the workers we treat recognize themselves in a few of these:
- What started as unwinding after a hard shift has become something you cannot stop.
- Pain from the work led to pills, and now the pills run the show.
- You have hidden how much you drink or use from your crew, your steward, and your family.
- You have tried to cut back on your own, more than once, and it has not held.
- You worry that getting help could cost you hours, your standing, or your job.
If any of that sounds familiar, you are not weak and you are not alone. Addiction is a medical condition, not a personal failing, and it responds to the right treatment.
Why Union Workers Choose iRely
Benefits-Aware Treatment
Many union members have strong health and welfare coverage and do not realize it. Our admissions team helps you understand your plan so you can use the benefits you have earned.
Built Around Your Livelihood
We know time off work is not free. After stabilization, your clinical team can plan care with your return to the job in mind, so recovery and your trade are not at war.
Real Privacy and Discretion
Two private, gated estates, controlled access, optional NDAs, and HIPAA-protected records mean your treatment never becomes talk at the hall or on the site.
A Boutique, No-Crowd Setting
We intentionally keep our census small. That means a low client-to-staff ratio and individual attention a large facility simply cannot offer.
Confidentiality and Privacy
For many tradespeople, privacy is the difference between getting help and going without it. At iRely it is structural, built into where you stay, who has access, and how you arrive.
Protecting Your Job and Your Benefits
Recovery has to come first. But for many union workers, complete disconnection from work and obligations is not realistic, and pretending otherwise only keeps them out of treatment longer.
Our admissions team can help you understand job-protected leave, your health and welfare benefits, and how to step away responsibly, so you can focus on getting well without losing what you have earned.
The first days are devoted entirely to stabilization and detox, with no outside distractions. After that, we plan the road back to work with you, honestly, from the start.
Our Clinical Approach
Behind the privacy and comfort is serious clinical care. iRely Recovery provides treatment at the ASAM Level 3.5 standard, with 24/7 medical monitoring and a team experienced in treating chronic pain and substance use together. Your personalized plan may draw on any of our 13 therapeutic modalities, including:
Because so many tradespeople are managing chronic pain, anxiety, or depression alongside substance use, our dual-diagnosis program treats both together, not one and then the other.

A Day at iRely
Days follow a steady, supportive rhythm rather than a rigid schedule:
| Time of Day | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| Morning | Mindfulness, breakfast, and individual therapy. |
| Midday | A group session, a chef-prepared lunch, and a monitored window if needed. |
| Afternoon | Experiential or somatic therapy and time for fitness and reflection. |
| Evening | A family session or alumni support, and quiet time to process the day. |
The point is not to fill every hour. It is to give you structure and space in equal measure.
The Estate and Amenities
Recovery is easier in a place that feels like a refuge, not a facility. iRely Recovery is set in two English Tudor-style homes in Sherwood Forest, between Hollywood and Malibu, a private, gated 11-bed luxury estate that blends comfortable accommodations with serious clinical care.
The grounds were chosen for calm and privacy, with comfortable shared spaces, quiet corners for reflection, and room to rest and simply breathe.

Conditions We Treat
On the job, problems rarely come one at a time, and the same is true here. Many of the workers we treat are managing a substance issue and an underlying condition at the same time, and lasting recovery means treating both together. Our dual-diagnosis program addresses substance use and mental health side by side. Common areas of focus include:
If you do not see your exact situation here, one confidential call will tell you whether iRely Recovery is the right fit.
Insurance and Cost
Quality treatment is an investment, and many union members are surprised by how much their plan covers. iRely Recovery works with most major PPO plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Kaiser, and our team can review your union health and welfare benefits with you. Verifying your benefits is quick, confidential, and carries no obligation.
