Why Saratoga Springs Government Workers Struggle with Addiction

Saratoga's high-income, high-achieving culture creates particular challenges. Cocaine use is above average among high-income professionals. Alcohol is deeply embedded in the social fabric of racing season and year-round professional culture. The stigma of seeking treatment is high — 'what will my colleagues think?' — but the insurance coverage is excellent. NYSHIP members in Saratoga County have among the best behavioral health benefits in the state.
