Employer and Professional Referrals
Support for Employers, Professionals, and Organizations Who Want to Help Someone Recover
Addiction impacts workplaces, teams, and professional communities in profound ways. Employers and colleagues often see the warning signs long before a person is ready to ask for help. You may notice declining performance, absenteeism, unsafe behavior, emotional instability, or sudden changes in mood and reliability. You may care deeply about the individual but feel unsure how to intervene or where to send them.
Tallgrass offers a compassionate, effective, spiritually grounded recovery program that is trusted by employers, unions, professional organizations, and referral partners across the region. Our 30 night 12 step immersion model provides individuals with clarity, structure, accountability, and a strong spiritual foundation for long term sobriety. Many professionals return to work healthier, more focused, and more grounded than they have been in years.
If you are an employer, coworker, HR leader, union representative, pastor, or mental health professional looking to help someone access recovery, Tallgrass is here to guide you through the process with respect, clarity, and confidentiality.
