Ocean Ridge Treatment & Recovery
Detox, Treatment, Recovery
Struggling with substance abuse while trying to maintain your professional life can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face it alone. Many workplaces offer a powerful, confidential resource called an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support employees who are navigating drug addiction, mental health challenges, and substance use disorders.
At Ocean Ridge Recovery, we often partner with EAPs to ensure that employees have seamless access to effective care. Whether you’re worried about your job performance, afraid of legal problems, or just trying to understand how to get help, this guide will walk you through how an EAP can be a turning point.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential, employer-sponsored benefit designed to help employees, their family members, and sometimes even co-workers address personal or professional challenges that may impact their job performance.
From substance abuse and mental health concerns to legal problems, grief, and financial stress, EAP services provide short-term counseling, referrals to treatment, and even management consultation to help teams support struggling employees.
And best of all? EAP services are free to use, completely voluntary, and confidential.
If you or a family member is facing a substance abuse problem, your EAP can connect you with critical care resources, including:
Whether you’re experiencing issues with drug use, alcohol, or other types of substance use, your EAP can be the bridge to getting your life back on track.
Yes—and no. While an EAP doesn’t provide legal protection from termination, engaging with your employee assistance program shows that you’re taking proactive steps toward wellness. This can be a major factor when an employer is assessing how to support an employee struggling with substance abuse or drug use on the job.
In some cases, working with your EAP can lead to:
It’s also common for management consultation teams to receive EAP guidance on how to handle co-workers who may be facing drug abuse, including cases involving drug testing or illegal drug use.
EAP services aren’t just for the person struggling—they’re for the people around them, too. If you’re watching a co-worker or loved one suffer due to drug addiction, alcohol use, or behaviors like drunk driving, your EAP may offer guidance on how to approach the conversation, provide support, and find resources for intervention.
This can be especially helpful when you want to show concern without crossing professional boundaries or escalating the issue prematurely.
At Ocean Ridge Recovery, we work closely with EAP providers to ensure that employees get into treatment quickly, discreetly, and effectively. Our programs are tailored for working professionals and include support for:
If you’re accessing care through your EAP, we’ll coordinate with your provider (with your permission) to ensure you receive personalized, ethical, and compassionate support every step of the way.
If you’re dealing with drug use, substance abuse, or watching a family member spiral due to addiction, help is closer than you think. Your employee assistance program is a confidential, judgment-free place to start the conversation.
Contact Ocean Ridge Recovery today to learn how we can work with your EAP to help you regain stability, dignity, and hope—for your job, your relationships, and yourself.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
