Abstract
Substance use disorder (SUD) continues to be a public health concern for state boards of nursing and returning to work after treatment can be a challenging experience. A Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) supports the workplace community by recognizing recovery from SUD as a strength and the willingness to work intentionally with people in recovery. RFW fosters an environment that encourages healthy and safety among employees to decrease barriers for those impacted by SUD. This article describes the risks of SUD in health care, barriers to returning to work during recovery, and the important aspects of an RFW in health care.
