Addiction doesn't discriminate

Contrary to popular belief, most Americans with SUD continue to hold down a job.

Few would associate successful office employees with a substance use disorder (SUD), much less teachers, doctors, or other professionals but some of your employees may be in that class.

Over 46 million Americans have a SUD yet only 6% have received treatment. It’s time to talk about what employers can do. Let’s close the treatment gap.

Know the Signs

You play a critical role in ensuring the health and safety of your employees.

That includes dealing with substance use problems when they interfere with the employee’s job performance or conduct.

Remember, your role is not to diagnose the alcohol/drug problem; however, there are many signs that may indicate a problem which should trigger an EAP referral or HR discussion.
