What's Already Happening On Your Job Site
Employees Suffering in Silence
1 in 5 works is navigating SUD without support, and most will never ask for help on their own.Â
Managers Left Without a Playbook
When a supervisor suspects a problem, most don't know what to say, what's legal, or where to send someone.Â
Close Calls That Didn't Have to Happen
SUD is linked to 65% of injuries in safety-sensitive industries. Most were preventable.Â
Turnover of Tenured Talent
Untreated SUD drives turnover, and when your most experienced workers leave, the knowledge goes with them.Â
EAP use is 2 to 5% across total combined services vs up to 8% with Sobrynth
Staff members rarely utilize generic tools for stigmatized life challenges like SUD.Â
The current system is not ready to act when someone reaches out for help. Sobrynth is.Â
Gaps in Current Employee Benefit Packages
Major disconnects exist between standard employee assistance programs and the tailored guidance necessary for lasting recovery within safety-sensitive sectors.Â
Traditional benefits focus on general wellness rather than the immediate needs of untreated Substance Use Disorder. This oversight exposes high-risk businesses and avoidable liability risks.
Zero live support available during staff crises
The time to seek help is brief; slow intake systems lose these vital opportunities.Â
Limited focus on substance use disorder
Basic counseling services often miss the specialty training needed for recovery.
Staff forced to find help on their own
The difficulty of sourcing care leads to high failure for those starting their recovery journey.Â
