At Last Door your employees participate in extensive group work, individual counselling and complete a full set of written exercises that encourages the development of the skills and changes necessary to integrate the principles of recovery. The longer-term approach also affords the time needed to repair damaged family relationships, build new circles of support, assess financial damages, assess psychological issues, improve upon limited coping skills and break deeply ingrained habits. Integration of relapse prevention strategies and graduated return to work schedules are more effectively managed in extended primary treatment programs.

Prevention

To ensure a safe workplace and align intentions and outcomes, Last Door provides workshops and seminars for Management Teams. Sessions teach teams to identify signs and symptoms of problematic substance use, and how to approach employee interventions.  Presenters also provide education on topics such as fitness for work, workplace wellness best practices and return to work management programs.

In most cases treatment costs are covered by insurance, employee health benefits or employer/employee agreements. Our care plans are flexible in terms of length of stay and return to work/transition planning. Our core treatment program has 35 years demonstrated success helping individuals and families overcome addiction.

Some of the behavioural characteristics that may be triggered by drug addiction. These behavioural characteristics do not always indicate drug addiction, but several concurrent behaviours warrant further investigation. Things to look for include:

• Frequent disappearances from the work site, long unexplained absences, improbable excuses
• Missed appointments and missed meeting deadlines
• Payroll cheques cashed at Payday Loan and Cash Money Marts
• Work performance that alternates between periods of high and low productivity
• Mistakes made due to inattention, poor judgment, and bad decisions
• Confusion, memory loss, and difficulty concentrating or recalling details and instructions
• Ordinary tasks require greater effort and consume more time
• Interpersonal relations with coworkers suffer
• Rarely admits errors or accepts blame for errors or oversights
• Progressive deterioration in personal appearance and hygiene
• Wearing long sleeves when inappropriate
• Personality change – mood swings, anxiety, depression, lack of impulse control, suicidal thoughts or gestures
