Recovery and Work
Building Recovery Supportive Workplaces
The Recovery Friendly Workplace is a growing initiative that equips employers with tools and resources to create recovery-supportive environments and strengthen workplace health, safety, and well-being. According to the 2023 National Survey of Drug Use and Health, 17.9% of people aged 18 and older have a substance use disorder (SUD), and nearly two-thirds are employed. This makes SUD not only a public health challenge but also a workplace concern that touches all industries, organizations, and communities.
Check back regularly for updates on coming events and resources to grow your organization into a recovery friendly workplace.
