Corporate
and Institutional
Membership:

By becoming a member of The Recovery Alliance, businesses and institutions can help fight the stigma still attached to alcoholism and drug dependencies. By fighting stigma, organizations can help persuade people in need of help to seek the treatment or support they need to become healthy and productive members of society.

Here are some facts:
Three out of four alcoholics and other drug dependents hold down steady jobs and support families. That's about 14 million employed alcoholics and addicts.
The public cost of untreated alcohol and drug addiction is $274.8 billion a year - that's $1000 in unnecessary costs for every man, woman and child in America.
Businesses which help their impaired employees show reduced medical claims and absenteeism, as well as fewer liability and disability claims.
