Recovery-Ready Workplace Snapshot

​If an employee experienced a substance-use or recovery-related workplace disruption tomorrow, would your organization know what to do next?

​

This short Snapshot looks at readiness across three areas:

Prevention — recognizing and responding before a crisis
Intervention — knowing what happens when an event occurs
Reintegration — supporting a structured, sustainable return to work

 

This is not a compliance audit or legal assessment. It is a practical readiness snapshot designed to identify where your current process appears strong — and where your organization may be relying on improvisation.

​

Estimated time: 3–5 minutes.

Resources exist but may not be widely understood
