Supported Employment Services
Rosie's Recovery Center's Supported Employment program helps adults in mental health and addiction recovery find, obtain, and maintain meaningful competitive employment. Our COMAR 10.63.03.16 compliant program is built on the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model — because work is a powerful part of recovery.
What Is Supported Employment?
Supported Employment is a COMAR-regulated service that provides individualized job development, placement, and ongoing support to help people with mental illness or substance use disorders achieve their employment goals. Unlike traditional vocational programs, Supported Employment focuses on rapid job search in competitive, integrated employment settings — real jobs, real wages, real community.
