No. If it goes after a verb, it refers back to a noun anyway.

He is a dignified and intelligent gentleman, but because he is from a different country, he has not been treated as such.

as such ~ as a dignified and intelligent gentleman

treated as such and recognized as such are used mostly in the fields of law and legislation, and mostly in very complex text.

If a foreign corporation does not satisfy either of these requirements, it will nevertheless be treated as such with respect to any dividends paid by that corporation. (Tax Facts on Insurance and Employee Benefits)

While still under discussion and not finalized, the IASB's position on lease accounting is that lease contracts create assets and liabilities that should be recognized as such on the financial statements of lessees. (Wiley CMAexcel Learning System Exam Review)

These usages are of no use whatsoever in daily life. Save them for when you get your law degree.
