UNION MEMBERS & DEPENDENTS

Addiction Treatment
for Union Members

Union membership brings with it many benefits. Among them are better wages and job benefits, better job security and employee rights, and safer working conditions. Most US unions offer members healthcare policies and health insurance that assist with problems related to substance abuse or mental health.

Treatment for
Union Members and Dependents

These policies allow individuals to benefit from better addiction treatment and healthcare than if they were not unionized. Often, however, union members are unaware of the level of coverage they have access to. Also, they may not know that these facilities are available to them without compromising their careers or their privacy if they go about seeking treatment.

Developing Healthcare
Partnerships

The Psyclarity Health team works with unions and labor organizations to help both union leaders and their members face the difficulties of substance use disorders, along with the life challenges that may occur. The center has strong associations with various unions, as well as referring professionals such as those representing employee assistance programs.

The staff at Psyclarity Health consists of qualified professionals specializing in a range of health care services, including mental health services pertaining to addiction recovery. These include case managers, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists who understand the issues related to maintaining professional duties while coping with a substance use disorder. 

Addiction may also co-exist with other mental health issues, making treatment more complicated. The combination of the two can lead to personal problems, both at home and in the workplace, creating conflict with employers that may result in employment penalties or even dismissal. 

In some cases, a firm may have Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services to assist employees with drug addiction or other substance abuse problems. Many may provide counseling services, education, and other forms of health promotion. If left unattended, substance abuse can result in disciplinary action and even dismissal, leading to long-term unemployment and further mental health problems. However, with the help of Psyclarity Health’s expert addiction recovery specialists, these repercussions can be avoided.

Health Care
Services

In working with unions and labor organizations, Psyclarity provides various services to benefit members, starting with confidential inquiry services. Often employees avoid seeking substance use treatment because they are afraid of the repercussions to their careers if their employers find out that they have a problem. A toll-free line enables them to discuss confidential issues without fear. They can discuss what to do in the event of a failed drug test or how to commit to drug or alcohol rehab and related health services without losing their jobs.

Many may be unaware that the Medical Leave Act makes provisions for employees who need to leave for medical care or long-term recovery from substance use disorders. They may not be aware of health insurance coverage for addiction treatment either.

Some do not know that the law is on their side in such instances and that employees may not discriminate against staff members who actively seek out assistance for substance abuse disorders. Advice is also available to the family of union members, for instance, in seeking advice for encouraging treatment when a loved one has a drug or alcohol problem. 

A sound relationship with a specialist such as Psyclarity Health allows unions to provide more comprehensive support to their memberships and ensure optimal health and productive lives.

Benefits for
Unions

Psyclarity Health believes that a company’s employees are its most valuable asset. Many careers can result in high levels of pressure, which can lead to employees developing a substance abuse addiction. Addictions have many negative effects in the workplace and can lead to increased absenteeism, tardiness, poor hygiene, and intoxication during work. These habits can reflect poorly on the individual as well as the company if not properly treated.

The programs we offer benefit the company by: 

• Managing Non-Union and Union Employees
• Increasing Staff Morale
• Assisting Addiction Recovery
• Improving Office Performance

Benefits for
Members

Addiction can be overwhelming, and employees may be concerned that seeking rehab may cost them their jobs. Working with unions and labor organizations, we ensure the necessary procedures are followed in accordance with the Employee Assistance Program.

Programs are dedicated to the wellness of company employees. Working with company EAP officers ensures the interests of both employees and companies are maintained. Members may access a toll-free line to discuss their situations with qualified addiction specialists to learn what their options are.

Improved Patient
Outcomes

Psyclarity Health is dedicated to confidential, effective treatment, designed exclusively for union members at its various rehab facilities. A range of protocols are combined specifically for each individual. The goal is to return each patient to a healthy, fulfilling life with the skills needed to maintain a positive outlook and good relationships both at home and in the workplace. Invariably, the mental health benefits extend beyond the treatment of substance abuse disorders and provide tools for behavioral health in the broader context. Relapse prevention training benefits not only the individual but also those they work and live with.

Smooth Admissions

Psyclarity Health is also able to assist with relevant documentation to facilitate an employee’s return to work. Following extended medical leave, it is necessary for a patient to be deemed fit to resume duties. Depending on the workplace, an employer will have different regulations for when an employee can return to work. Typically, a healthcare provider would need to submit a form verifying that they’ve taken care of any issues. Union members can also consult with leadership and liaise with EAP services to clarify these details. Psyclarity Health’s experience in handling the necessary documentation ensures that the process is smooth and seamless.

Assisting Unions and
Employee Assistance Programs

There are significant benefits to maintaining the mental health of members and employees. However, accessing specialized care can be a complex undertaking. Get in touch with us if you have any questions about how we can partner with your union or collaborate with your Employee Assistance Program.
