Welcome, and thank you for your commitment to
building a Recovery-Friendly Workplace (RFW)
Employers play a crucial role in addressing substance use challenges, and implementing recovery-friendly practices can strengthen your business
while fostering a safer, more inclusive, and more productive work environment. This toolkit is designed to help you understand and implement
effective strategies that support both employees in recovery and the long-term success of your organization.
Our goal is not to distribute another "drug-free" workplace policy, rather, the purpose of this toolkit is to provide you with a comprehensive framework
that identifies the steps employers can take to enhance your organizational effectiveness and become a more inclusive workplace which
supports all employees, especially those in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD).
Creating a Recovery-Friendly Workplace (RFW) isn't just good practice for supporting workers-it's a smart business decision. Employers who support
employees in recovery benefit from a healthier, more engaged, and more stable workforce. RFWs help attract dedicated talent, reduce absenteeism, and enhance workplace culture while improving productivity and cost savings. The Recovery Friendly Workplace initiative encourages healthy and safe working environments where employers, employees, and communities can collaborate to create positive change, eliminate stigma, and support recovery.
