Can I Balance Treatment and Work?
Can I Balance Treatment and Work?
It’s no secret that, if you don’t seek treatment for a substance use disorder, it is likely to eventually affect your work. In the short term, it may feel like treatment will impede your work success or set you back. In the long term, though, not seeking treatment can lead to home, health, and work disruptions that will only be compounded over time.
If you can, it’s best to be proactive with treatment and seek it out while it is minimally or not at all affecting your work to prevent your career from imploding due to your substance use.
This can be difficult for many people, though. Taking time off work can massively disrupt not only work stability but also finances. While some workplaces will keep you on the payroll while you receive treatment, others may not. If you own a business or are self-employed, it may be the case that no one will keep your business open or keep your clients happy while you are receiving treatment. With that said, avoiding treatment may lead to severe consequences both in your work and home life.
So, what can you do? Is it possible to balance treatment and work?
Below is more about balancing work and treatment, along with a treatment option that allows you to meet your work obligations while receiving the high quality of care you deserve…
Treatment and Work: Finding the Right Balance
In order to find the right balance between work and treatment, you need to consider options that allow you to continue to work (if you are unable to get time off). Some people opt for outpatient care, which allows for treatment after work hours. With that said, outpatient care involves traveling to a treatment center multiple times throughout the week for hours at a time. This cuts into time with family and makes it difficult to meet obligations outside of work.
One option that many people don’t even know is available is in-home treatment. With in-home treatment, clients are able to receive the treatment they need for their substance use disorder from the comfort of their own homes—and they can book this treatment around their schedule. This means no time off work and no traveling to an outpatient center at inconvenient times. Instead, highly-qualified treatment providers come to your home to administer outstanding treatment that meets your recovery needs and goals.
