Recovery Friendly Workplaces Panel

Over 60% of americans ages 18 and older with a substance use disorder (SUD) are part of the workforce (SAMHSA, 2022). Substance use disorder costs U.S. companies an estimated $442 billion a year in lost productivity, health care costs, and absenteeism* The human and economic toll of SUD is far too great to ignore.

The burgeoning Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) movement represents a paradigm shift in how employers manage and conceive of substance use disorder among their workforce. Being an RFW is the right thing to do, and it’s good for business!
