Leadership Awareness on Addiction and Recovery
A practical guide to leading with empathy, building stigma-free cultures, and supporting recovery in the workplace.

Addiction affects millions and it doesn't stop at the office door. Whether leaders realize it or not, individuals navigating addiction and recovery are already part of their teams. The question is: Are they being seen, supported, and led with care?

Leadership Awareness on Addiction and Recovery empowers today's leaders to recognize addiction as a workplace reality and lead in ways that foster trust, dignity, and long-term success. Blending research, real-world scenarios, actionable strategies, and compassionate leadership principles, this book serves as a toolkit for any leader ready to make their organization recovery-informed.

Inside, you'll find:

• The truth about addiction and recovery and what leaders need to know
• How to reduce stigma and create inclusive, resilient teams
• Guidance on handling disclosures, relapses, and tough conversations
• Recovery-supportive leadership checklists, scripts, and tools
• State policies and workplace resources to guide compliance and culture change

This book is not just about awareness, it's about action. Leadership that supports recovery isn't a liability, it's a legacy.
