Get Help - For An Employee

Substance abuse is common, and the costs of substance abuse are high for employers. According to recent studies, of the 20 million adults classified as having problems with substance dependence or abuse, approximately 12 million (60%) were employed full time.

In addition to higher absenteeism and lower job productivity and performance, substance abuse issues can lead to greater health care expenses due to injuries and illnesses. Workplace injuries also increase workers’ compensation and disability claims that can affect your bottom line. And, intervention with employer involvement will often provide the extra incentive needed for the substance abuser to accept help.

If employers understand addiction and are willing to address substance abuse among working adults, the costs related to substance abuse can be minimized. Providing substance abuse education to employees can also help to reduce workers’ compensation rates for businesses.

Substance abuse is treatable, particularly when it is addressed as a chronic disease. Reducing employee substance abuse can help employers improve productivity, reduce workplace injuries, and decrease health care costs.
