Simonds Recovery Centers
Working / Employed Individuals
At Simonds, we understand the challenges that working individuals face when seeking help for substance use while maintaining their job security. That’s why we offer a comprehensive program designed to support both employees and employers throughout the treatment process.
Collaboration with Employers
We actively work with employers to ensure that the treatment process is as seamless as possible. Our team is experienced in helping individuals navigate the necessary paperwork and processes to obtain medical leave or disability benefits under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or through short-term disability insurance. This allows employees to focus on their recovery without the stress of losing their job.
Protecting Employment Rights
We also work with legal and HR professionals to ensure that your job is protected while you undergo treatment. Many employees are unaware of the protections available to them under FMLA or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which ensures that individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders are not discriminated against. We educate both employees and employers about these rights, so they feel secure in their employment status.
Disability and Leave Support
Our team helps coordinate with your employer and insurance providers to facilitate the process of obtaining short-term disability or other benefits, ensuring that your income is partially maintained during treatment. We handle much of the administrative burden, so you can focus on getting better.
Post-Treatment Integration
Once treatment is completed, we also offer return-to-work planning. This involves working with both the employee and employer to ensure a smooth transition back into the workplace, including possible accommodations such as reduced hours or job modifications, to support a successful reentry.
