When an Employee Struggles with Substance Use, Everyone Feels It
Missed shifts. Inconsistent performance. Strained teams. You see the signs—but what do you do?
Most employers want to help. You care about your people. You’ve invested time, energy, and training into someone who’s now slipping—and it’s hard to know how to respond. Tough love? Leave of absence? Hope it passes?
Substance use disorders (SUD) are incredibly common, and they don’t just affect individuals. They affect morale, productivity, safety, and stability. But most treatment systems are slow, impersonal, and built around outdated models that don’t meet the needs of today’s workforce.
At Sequoia MD, we offer a better path forward.
We provide fast, discreet, outpatient addiction treatment that helps people stay employed, stay accountable, and actually get better. No waiting lists. No shame. No one-size-fits-all recovery scripts.
What We Offer Employers
- Fast, Confidential Access
We see most patients same-day or next-day. No long waits, no complex referrals, no insurance delays. Your employees get help when they’re ready—not after it’s too late. - Work-Compatible Treatment
Our outpatient model fits around job schedules. Employees don’t need to disappear for 30 days—they get evidence-based care while continuing to work and stay connected to their life. - Respectful, Effective Care
We treat substance use like the chronic medical condition it is—with medication, structure, and support. Patients feel safe, not judged—and that’s what leads to real change. - Help That Actually Helps
This isn’t about checking a box or sending someone off to “get help.” It’s about real outcomes: fewer relapses, fewer missed days, more stability, and a path forward that actually works.
