Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services are programs that help people with disabilities—including those with substance use disorders—prepare for, find, and keep employment. These services can provide career counseling, job training, education, and assistance with skills like interviewing or workplace communication. They may also offer support such as transportation, tools, uniforms, or help requesting job accommodations. For someone in recovery, VR can be a bridge to stable employment, which research shows plays a key role in maintaining long-term sobriety by offering structure, purpose, and financial independence.
