The Recovery Opportunities and Pathways to Employment Success (R.O.P.E.S.)
The Recovery Opportunities and Pathways to Employment Success (R.O.P.E.S.) Program helps target the specific challenges of individuals who are in recovery from substance misuse and need additional assistance to get back to work.
In addition to workforce services like training and job search assistance, R.O.P.E.S. takes a holistic approach to each individual’s recovery journey and focuses on both recovery and employment initiatives.
