Topic 1: Developing Policies and Procedures

Creating a recovery-ready culture begins with written policies that outline the organization’s commitment to supporting recovery. Policies should include reasonable accommodations, access to confidential support systems, and education on recovery for all employees. For example, offering flexible scheduling or on-site support groups can significantly enhance a recovery-ready environment.

Key Points:

• Develop written policies that support recovery.

• Provide accommodations such as flexible schedules and EAPs.

• Educate employees on recovery and stigma reduction.
