Understanding the Pressures of Railroad Work

Railroad employees often work irregular hours, spend extended time away from home, and take on physically demanding jobs that require constant focus. These conditions can make it difficult to maintain a healthy balance and lead some workers to use drugs or alcohol to cope. We understand the unique challenges of this industry and offer care that meets you where you are.

Rehab Programs for Major Railroad Companies

Turning Point Recovery Network proudly supports employees from the largest railroad companies in North America. Our team understands the unique pressures of each organization and provides confidential, personalized addiction treatment for railroad workers to help you heal and return to your career with confidence.

Union Pacific

Union Pacific

Union Pacific employees often face long freight routes, grueling schedules, and significant time away from family. These conditions can lead to burnout, anxiety, or substance use. At Turning Point, we provide tailored rehab programs for Union Pacific workers, including PHP, IOP, VIOP, outpatient care, and sober living. If you’re using a Union Pacific EAP, or employee assistance program, we’ll help you take full advantage of your benefits.

BNSF Railway

BNSF Railway workers are responsible for operating one of the busiest freight systems in the country. The demanding nature of this job can result in physical strain, fatigue, and mental health challenges. We support BNSF employees with flexible treatment options and work closely with your BNSF Railway EAP to ensure a smooth admissions process and full confidentiality.

CSX Transportation

CSX Transportation

CSX Transportation employees often manage tight deadlines and operate under high stress. Over time, these demands can contribute to substance misuse or emotional exhaustion. Our rehab programs for CSX workers are designed to promote recovery without putting your job at risk. We also assist with CSX Transportation EAP paperwork to ensure you receive the treatment you need with minimal disruption.

Canadian National Railway (CN)

CN employees operating in the U.S. may encounter added stress due to cross-border routes, time zone shifts, and long-distance travel. At Turning Point, we create recovery plans that take these factors into account. We also support you in navigating Canadian National Railway EAP coverage and ensuring treatment aligns with both personal and work obligations.

Norfolk Southern Railway

Norfolk Southern Railway

Norfolk Southern Railway workers are essential to transporting goods across the southeastern and eastern U.S., often working irregular hours or overnight shifts. These conditions can make it difficult to maintain mental wellness and avoid substance use. Our team is experienced in supporting Norfolk Southern employees with rehab programs that are confidential, flexible, and designed to encourage long-term recovery. We can also help you navigate Norfolk Southern Railway EAP paperwork.

Our Personalized Rehab Programs for Railroad Employees

Wondering how to find an IOP that works for you? Every railroad worker comes to us with a unique background and set of needs. That’s why we offer multiple levels of care focused on flexibility and long-term support. Our services include:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – A structured day program that provides intensive clinical care without overnight stays.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – This program is designed for those who need frequent therapy and support while still managing work or home responsibilities.

Virtual IOP (VIOP) – VIOP is a remote option that offers the same support and structure as in-person IOP, accessible from anywhere.

Outpatient Services – This is ideal for those stepping down from a higher level of care or needing flexible ongoing support.

Sober Living – Sober living homes offer a safe, substance-free environment for clients who need stability while attending outpatient or virtual care.

We’ll work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and helps you maintain progress—without stepping away from your job longer than necessary.

We Work With Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Most major railroad companies offer employee assistance programs (EAPs) that include benefits for addiction treatment, mental health care, and counseling. These benefits are often underused, but they can make a big difference in getting timely and affordable help.

At Turning Point Recovery Network, we can help you:

  • Understand what services your EAP covers
  • Coordinate treatment without disrupting your job
  • Keep your participation fully confidential

We’ll also work with your union representative or HR department if needed.
