Alcohol
and other drug abuse is one of the most serious health
problems affecting employers today. The costs are staggering
-- more than $100 billion a year in accidents, lost
productivity, and related problems. For smaller businesses
in particular, one serious accident or one troubled
employee can create major problems. The cost of one
employee's alcohol or other drug abuse can be devastating.
In
workplaces across the country, employers are looking
for practical ways to address alcohol and other drug
abuse. Employers also are concerned about meeting the
health needs of their employees and controlling the
costs of health care and Workers' Compensation. Most
importantly, employers are asking for clear, simple
steps for planning effective drug-free workplace programs.
