www.AmericaInRecovery.org came up with a great idea when they created a website for people in recovery who are seeking employment. The concept is simple. Businesses sign up and post job openings, while job seekers can upload their resumes or directly apply for jobs.

“Our country includes millions of addicted people in recovery who are considered unemployable by many employers.” Reads the America in Recovery website. “Americans from all walks of life are affected by the disease of addiction, from unskilled young people to doctors, lawyers, and engineers. How can we use their talents and abilities? How can we give them opportunities to be motivated, enthusiastic, and productive? America in Recovery offers them a way to find a job.”

At America in Recovery, they’re upfront about the fact that there is no staff and, in short, that it is very difficult to get in touch with them. They explain that they developed the site in a manner that users would be able to add to the site themselves with minimal maintenance on their part. They explain that employers using America in Recovery are helping to support people who are trying to rebuild their lives in a way that gives them a sense of responsibility and integrity.

America in Recovery goes on to state, “The recovery principles of honesty and integrity rub off on other employees not in recovery, and the end result is a family that works well together and appreciates one another.”
