Employers are well aware of the importance of hiring qualified, reliable
employees who are willing and able to do a job well and contribute
to the success of their organization. Most employers also know that
attracting such applicants is not always easy, but always worth the
effort.
For a number of reasons, employers often have reservations about
hiring workers in recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs.
However, hiring people in recovery can be well worth the investment,
despite many perceived risks.
Addiction to alcohol and other drugs can be successfully treated,
and countless people in recovery lead successful, productive lives,
contributing positively to their communities. Most are in the workforce,
and in many cases are reliable, dedicated employees who attach special
meaning and value to their jobs.
