Recovery-friendly workplaces, answered.
What is a recovery-friendly workplace?
A workplace with the policies, training, and culture to support employees affected by substance use disorder, theirs or a loved one’s, while protecting the business. It reduces turnover and builds loyalty.
Why should a small business invest in this?
Because addiction touches most teams, and losing or sidelining good people is costly. Supportive workplaces keep talent, reduce absenteeism, and build trust.
Do you provide treatment or clinical services?
No. We build the workplace side: policies, manager training, culture, and resource connections. We connect people to qualified support, we do not provide clinical care.
Is this compliant with employment law?
We build support that aligns with ADA and leave laws, and flag anything needing legal review. (Guidance, not legal advice.)
