It’s a situation no manager ever wants to be in. Something is wrong with your best employee, and you just can’t put your finger on it. Maybe their work has become careless or sloppy. Perhaps their breaks have gotten longer and longer. Or maybe their once professional appearance has slipped due to poor personal hygiene.

These are just some of the warning signs they may be abusing drugs. But if you suspect an employee is an addict, what should you do? Here are some steps you can take to help get your employee — and your company — back on track.

Okay, so you are considering entering a rehab treatment program. Have you considered what life after rehab is like? What happens when you leave the facility? Where and how does one begin a clean and sober life? What are the steps you can take now to start planning for long-term recovery?

Life after rehab needs to be carefully planned in order to support lasting recovery efforts. At the 12 Palms Recovery Center, we offer Individualized After Rehab Care Planning and work with our clients to develop a tailored plan of action that supports life after rehab. After Rehab Care Planning equips clients with the tools necessary to confidently re-enter society and gain a greater chance at long-term recovery.

The main goal at 12 Palms Recovery Center, as with all substance abuse rehab centers, is to give each of its clients the tools and resources that they can use to become happy and productive members of society. However, at 12 Palms, it’s the rehab treatment programs offered that make the difference.

At 12 Palms, it isn’t just about making sure the clients have the education and the tools to get sober, it’s about showing them by example that life can be thoroughly enjoyed in sobriety. The team of dedicated counselors and therapists at 12 Palms are all recovering addicts and alcoholics as well, and all of them can empathize with exactly what their clients are feeling.
