General Business

A study undertaken by the United
Nations’ World Health Organization
states that America is #1 in the world
for abuse of substances.

In this time of recession, employers
are seeking to economize in a variety
of areas. Rehabilitation for drug abuse
is one thing that might come under the
the ax, but that is a short-sighted view.

The cost of addiction in the workplace
is staggering.

Nearly four out of five individuals who
misuse alcoholic beverages or drugs
have jobs.

The cost to USA businesses for addiction
is some $130 billion dollars US currency,
Which is the result of lost employee
productivity.

Another $500 million dollars annually
is the result of lost work days.

In excess of six out of ten workers are
aware of a fellow employee who has come
to the job site intoxicated in some manner.

Untreated substance abuse problems
result in American businesses losing
man-hours, and also results in decreased
employee productivity. In such a
competitive world, this is not a good
thing.

Durg abuse treatment is cost-effective for
employers.
