What Are the Links Between Employment and Recovery?

There are many anecdotal stories of how people stay on the path of recovery due to employment. And this makes sense: employment provides purpose and a sense of pride that can help many people when recovery gets rough.

There is also a 2019 study that speaks about this. It studied outcomes 6 months after treatment and found that those who had employment were more likely to be sober. The findings are interesting, and you can check out an abstract and download the full study on the Science Direct website.
