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.
