The resources are a part of President Joe Biden’s National Drug Control Strategy and Unity Agenda efforts, according to a Nov. 9 news release. They will be available to private businesses, nonprofit organizations, unions, trade associations and state, local and tribal governments.

The Recovery-Ready Workplace Toolkit aims to help support workers with substance use disorder by promoting addiction treatment and recovery support services, developing a safe and healthy work environment, breaking down barriers for employment and reducing stigma.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
