The reality is what most people know about addiction is wrong. So many of the myths have kept a lot of us sick, which, you know, the one that stands out the most is that you can't do anything to help an alcoholic until they hit bottom. In no other disease in the world would we say somebody has to get worse before they get better. In fact, it's actually cruel.
Imagine a workplace where employees feel safe seeking help for addiction without fear of judgment. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with Bob Poznanovich, a leading expert in addiction recovery, to discuss how employers can create such an environment. Post-pandemic, a staggering 20 percent of employees reported drinking during work hours, and the opioid crisis continues to claim lives.
Bob sheds light on the alarming statistics and stresses the urgent need for supportive workplace cultures. He shares his personal journey through addiction and recovery, making the conversation deeply relatable and impactful. One key initiative discussed is the Workplace Wellbeing Portal, a resource offering confidential access to information, self-help tools, and support for both employees and their families. This portal aims to destigmatise addiction and provide life-saving assistance within organizations.
Bob's insights are a wake-up call for employers to take proactive steps in addressing substance use and mental health challenges among their staff. If you're curious about how workplaces can become beacons of hope and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
