Press Release ICARE and Aerobodies Partner to Eradicate Workplace Addiction |
Issued by ICARE [International Center for Addiction and Recovery Education] Nov. 28, 2023 |
The International Center for Addiction and Recovery Education (ICARE) and Aerobodies, Inc. have joined forces to optimize Workplace Wellness by eradicating substance misuse in the workforce. These two female-owned powerhouses now offer complimentary resources to address addiction, which is a leading cause of corporate underperformance and worse. ORLANDO, Fla. and ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The International Center for Addiction and Recovery Education (ICARE) and Aerobodies, Inc. have joined forces to optimize Workplace Wellness by eradicating substance misuse in the workforce. These two female-owned powerhouses now offer complimentary resources to address addiction, which is a leading cause of corporate underperformance and worse. Workforce addiction costs American businesses $81B annually. These costs come from lost productivity, absenteeism, employee turnover, workplace accidents and injury, escalating healthcare expenses and theft. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cites 70% (13.6 million workers) of adults with an alcohol or illicit drug use disorder are employed either full or part-time. Reportedly, one in seven employees struggle with SUD and suffer in silence due to stigma and fear of job loss. These alarming statistics make the workplace an important setting to address addiction. ICARE's addiction recovery Workforce Solutions provide the missing puzzle piece to Aerobodies's corporate health management offerings. These proven resources are available to corporate clients through Aerobodies's WellTeam Culture module, a 90 day Health Management Workplace accelerator targeted to organizations with six to 150 employees. Aerobodies met ICARE via the WELCOA website upon reading an industry article by ICARE Executive Director, Cheryl Brown Merriwether, on the role of recovery coaching in today's addiction epidemic. Before partnering with ICARE the company addressed areas of wellness management such as lifestyle and health coaching, but lacked employee services for addiction awareness, prevention and recovery. "With surging mental illness and suicide rates, we knew it was time to identify the right partner to support our client portfolio of corporate offerings to include addiction recovery," said Aerobodies Founder and CEO Fran Dean-Bishop. "We recognize the complexity and severity of substance misuse within an organizational setting and look forward to working with ICARE to quantifiably improve corporate wellness by reducing workplace addiction." ICARE's advanced programs educate and support CEOs and HR executives to identify and guide employees to get resources for recovery. The program empowers employees who are "sober curious" to learn in a safe environment about substance use and mental health and directs them to EAP, coaching resources, and other treatment options. About Aerobodies Inc. Aerobodies Inc. is a woman-owned, national health and wellness service provider specializing in Corporate Wellness Solutions for organizations. Since 1997, Aerobodies has provided federal and state agencies and private industry companies with a wide range of health, wellness and program management services.
