Modelling + Applications for Drug Policy × STRAIGHT EDGE

Our policies combine solid research with practical application to address drug and addiction challenges in ways that fit your organization.

From prevention to recovery support, our approach is rooted in evidence and real-world experience, designed to create lasting change and foster safer, healthier workplaces.

Is addiction affecting your organization?

Chances are – whether you know/acknowledge it or not – addiction is present in your organization.

But addiction isn't just a workplace issue, it's also a human issue. Every person struggling with addiction is part of a larger system, whether it’s their team, family, or community. Addressing these challenges head-on isn’t just good for business, it’s good for people. When people thrive, organizations thrive.

Maybe you’re seeing cracks in your team dynamics (lower productivity, higher absenteeism, strained relationships). Maybe you’re struggling to foster a workspace where people feel safe asking for help without fear. Or maybe you’re just overwhelmed by the complexity of it all. How do you even start tackling something so sensitive?

We understand the pressure. Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual. Addiction can destabilize entire teams, drain resources, and create a ripple effect of challenges across every level of your organization. The stigma surrounding substance use makes everything harder, preventing people from seeking support and leaving leadership fumbling for solutions.

Framed by lived and living experience and addictions science expertise, our models lead to lasting changes from assessment and early prevention to sustained recovery. By integrating real-world insights with rigorous scientific methodologies, we craft solutions that resonate with individuals, teams, and communities.

Our approach is actionable. Whether it’s streamlining workplace policies to minimize substance use risks, implementing preventive education programs, or designing recovery pathways that prioritize dignity and support, every strategy we develop is rooted in evidence and empathy.

We work collaboratively with organizations to identify unique challenges, tailoring interventions that align with their goals while fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and inclusivity. Our models are built to track progress, measure impact, and adapt as needs evolve.
