  • #97: Recovery in the Workplace with Sobrynth Co-Founders Marin Nelson & Ingrid Lindberg
    Oct 3 2024

    "Today, 46 million Americans suffer from substance use disorder. Of those, 70% are employed. This costs the economy $81BN a year. Substance use disorder is impacting 2 out of 3 families. We are not doing enough to reach these employees and their families who are seeking care for a highly stigmatized and often shame filled chronic condition.

    We believe that the existing approach to substance use disorder in the workplace is inadequate - this is not a sub-bullet condition and it deserves its own dedicated solution.

    Sobrynth provides 24 x 7 assistance for employees and their families who are seeking support with immediate substance use disorder needs and for those employees who are sober curious. We marry that support with a recovery ready workplace strategy.

    We understand that return to work is an integral part of a person’s journey, so as a core part of our services, we supply a world class sober Employee Resource Group framework. We know that a recovery friendly workplace is key to an employee’s successful sobriety journey. We help employers create that safe and trusting workplace.

    Choosing to be sober today is personal. Sobrynth is here to help people figure out their own journey – at home and at work."
