Treatment centers are dynamic environments where security must be both robust and sensitive. We have extensive experience providing security solutions for facilities that treat substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and other conditions requiring intensive care. Our approach is rooted in understanding the specific needs of these environments, allowing us to tailor our services to meet the demands of each unique facility.

At the core of our service offering is our commitment to trauma-informed security. We recognize that individuals in treatment centers often have complex backgrounds that may include past trauma, particularly involving law enforcement or other security figures. To address this, our security personnel are trained in trauma-informed care, focusing on de-escalation and conflict resolution techniques that prioritize the well-being of the individual.

Our trauma-informed approach means that we aim to minimize the use of force, intervening only when absolutely necessary. This method not only protects individuals but also fosters a sense of safety and trust within the facility, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the recovery process.

We understand the importance of creating a non-threatening atmosphere within treatment centers. To this end, our security personnel often wear soft uniforms—attire designed to be more approachable and less intimidating than traditional security uniforms. Typically featuring two-tone designs in calming colors, these uniforms help to integrate our presence into the therapeutic environment, reducing anxiety for patients and helping to maintain a sense of normalcy within the facility.

The use of soft uniforms is a deliberate choice that reflects our commitment to maintaining a respectful and supportive environment, while still ensuring that our guards are easily identifiable and capable of responding to any security needs that arise.

While the primary goal in treatment centers is to maintain a calm and supportive environment, there are situations where armed security may be necessary to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. Our armed security personnel are trained to adhere strictly to a use of force continuum, meaning that force is used only as a last resort and is always proportionate to the threat.

For facilities where a lower-profile presence is preferable, we also offer unarmed security options. These guards can be equipped with non-lethal tools, such as tasers, to provide a level of protection that is effective yet less invasive. We work closely with each facility to determine the best security mix based on their specific needs and the profiles of the individuals they serve.

Our services for treatment centers include:

24/7 On-Site Security: Continuous protection to ensure the safety and security of patients and staff.

Access Control: Secure entry points to manage who enters and exits the facility, crucial for maintaining a safe environment.

Surveillance Systems: State-of-the-art surveillance technology to monitor all areas of the facility and quickly respond to any incidents.

Emergency Response Planning: Customized plans to address potential emergencies, ensuring that the facility is prepared to respond effectively in any situation.

Central Protection is proud to be a trusted partner for treatment centers, providing security that supports their mission of helping individuals recover in a safe, nurturing environment. We work closely with each facility to develop and implement security strategies that are tailored to their specific needs, ensuring that safety enhances—not hinders—the recovery process.

By integrating trauma-informed practices, using soft uniforms, and offering both armed and unarmed security options, we ensure that our presence contributes positively to the therapeutic environment.
