What is an Employee Assistance Program?
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a voluntary and free service employers provide to help women with personal issues and work-related problems. EAPs are designed to provide women professional help and guidance without fear of judgment or negative consequences at work. The services offered by an EAP may vary depending on the employer, but they typically include short-term counseling, resources for recovery groups, and referrals to treatment programs.
Counseling services provided by an EAP may include individual or group therapy, couple or family therapy, and crisis intervention. These services are often provided by licensed professionals specializing in addiction treatment, mental health counseling, and other related areas.
Referrals to treatment programs are another essential service provided by EAPs. EAPs can help women navigate the complex process of finding a rehab program that meets their needs. They also provide information on the different treatment programs available, such as inpatient or outpatient treatment. EAP representatives help women understand their health insurance benefits, FMLA leave, and the financial resources available.

How Can EAPs Help You With Your Addiction and Your Job?
Women suffering from substance abuse problems may be hesitant to seek help because they fear negative consequences at work. EAPs can often put women at ease and help them find the treatment they need since all screenings and resources are confidential.
Many EAPs are a wealth of knowledge and resources. When a woman presents with a mental illness or substance use disorder, they screen her and make a referral to the proper treatment facility.
However, the work of an EAP is not done once they have made the referral. They also work closely with your rehab program to ensure you get the necessary care. They keep in contact with your primary therapist, help identify an appropriate treatment plan, and help with aftercare planning as you near the end of your treatment stay. The goal of an EAP is to help get women the resources they need to get and stay sober and return to work.
Addiction in the Workplace – Union Support
Alcohol and drug abuse can significantly impact the workplace and employers as a whole, not just individual employees. When women struggle with substance abuse, it can lead to decreased employee morale and overall productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher healthcare costs. In some cases, substance abuse can also result in safety concerns and accidents in the workplace.
To address these issues, unions provide support and resources to help their female members struggling with addiction. Unions recognize the impact alcohol abuse can have on their members, their family members, and the workplace and are committed to helping women employees get the help they need. Through this process, the union helps these women find recovery and improve their job performance.
Much like an EAP representative, a union can help you navigate finding the right treatment center, aid you in the admissions process, participate in aftercare planning, and help you return to work. Additionally, due to the personal nature of union work, they will often assist you in overcoming any financial issues with getting into treatment and help address any personal problems that may arise while you are in rehab.
If you are unsure if your union offers these recovery services, call The Fullbrook Center today. We can help you contact your Local and find the representative you need.
