Many individuals recovering from mental illness or addiction face significant challenges re-entering the workforce due to symptoms that disrupt their job performance. Barriers such as energy, mood, and concentration difficulties, as well as potential employer discrimination, can make it hard for those in recovery to secure employment. However, a positive shift is happening in some workplaces, where businesses are focusing on wellness and actively recruiting individuals with recovery experiences, providing them with the support they need to thrive.
Many businesses are improving employee wellness programs and putting a greater focus on the mental and physical health of their employees.
DV8 Kitchen, a restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky, was founded to offer employment to people in the early stages of substance use recovery who have found it difficult to maintain traditional jobs.
