One of the most common questions we are asked, and maybe one of the most common excuses to avoid getting treatment, is centered around how to balance taking time off of work to seek treatment for addiction and/or mental health.
Two of our Bare Knuckle Recovery team members join Tommy and Nate to share their thoughts and experiences from different perspectives.
During the first half of this episode, Jaime Murphy shares some insights on wellness in the workplace from the employer's view. From her background in human resources, social work and her current role as the Corporate Relations Liaison for Allendale Treatment, Allendale Behavioral Health and Fort Wayne Recovery, Jaime talks about why addiction and mental health are not talked about openly enough in the business world, and what we can do to fix that so that employees have the support of their employers when seeking treatment.
In the second half of the episode, Zach Dawson, one of our Community Outreach Coordinators, shares his story of seeking out employment while freshly into recovery, and being open about his need to balance outpatient treatment, drug court, and work.
As we continue to work together to do our part to reduce the stigma attached to addiction and mental health disorders, we hope to see this topic gets talked about more openly at work as all sides, the employee and the employer, benefit when individuals are able to get the care that they need.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
