Finding a Job After Rehab
WhiteSands Can Help Connect You to a Potential Future Employer
At WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Fort Myers and Sarasota, patients participating in our outpatient programs, as well as alumni, are welcome to attend job fairs hosted by the facility to get them employment directly after inpatient and outpatient treatment. Several potential employers in the area hire WhiteSands alumni, and by attending these job fairs, patients can meet one-on-one with the employers, giving them an excellent opportunity for employment post-treatment.
Life after substance abuse can be a tough adjustment. We are here to help ease the transition between substance use disorders and addiction and recovery, which is why we do everything we can to help patients find employment once they are ready. Please take advantage of our assistance programs and create the life you want.
Finding Employment Is Tough: WhiteSands Offers OpportunitiesÂ
Employers are struggling to fill jobs right now, and people coming out of rehab are looking for a fresh start. At WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab, we offer transportation, clothing, secure housing, and counseling for outpatients looking to start working again. For patients and alumni, this helps ensure their success as they re-enter the workforce. For employers, this is a lot of support that helps them feel confident that they are hiring a reliable new employee. Outpatient treatment, sober living, and alumni programs are part of the levels of care we offer for patients who have successfully completed their inpatient rehabilitation treatment programs.Â
If patients are in therapy or attending our outpatient treatment program, Chris, our in-house Alumni Coordinator, who also runs the sober homes here, can help facilitate the process. It truly is a win-win for both employers as well as patients. Reentering the workforce can be challenging and can come with some hesitation, but we are here to help you every step of the way.Â
