Workplace Policies

Return to Work Policy

A return-to-work policy for follow up to a treatment episode for OUD is similar in concept to other chronic health conditions. This policy can set clear expectations for the employee’s workplace conduct and responsibilities upon their return. Employee capabilities will largely be determined by their prescribed medical release and possible restrictions. An agreement should be reached with employee and employer input and include the following designations, at minimum:

Medical Release Form and Potential Restrictions

Periodic Medical and Job Performance Evaluations

Employer Accommodations

Designated Length of Agreement

A well-constructed return-to-work policy can help support the employee in successfully reintegrating into the workplace. In some circumstances, employees returning to work after treatment of a SUD are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
