Drug and Alcohol use in the workplace harms productivity. This problem is larger than what you might think, and very likely affecting your workplace. According to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, substance and alcohol use disorders are among the most frequently occurring behavioral health problems in the United States. They cost businesses billions each year due to the loss of employee productivity, absenteeism, and increased workers compensation insurance premiums.
While not always in plain view, addictive drug and alcohol use among U.S. workers is a problem in the workplace, as it impairs job performance, threatens public safety, and results in costly medical, social, and other problems affecting employees and employers alike.
Alarming Statistics:
- Of the 17.4 million current illicit drug users age 18 and over, 13.1 million (75.3 percent) are employed.
- Similarly, among 55.3 million adult binge drinkers, 44.0 million (79.4 percent) are employed, and among 16.4 million persons reporting heavy alcohol use, 13.1 million (79.6 percent) are employed.
Since the majority of substance and alcohol users are employed, the workplace is an ideal setting to reach a large population for implementing treatment and prevention strategies. Employers are in a unique position to motivate employees to seek help for issues with drug or alcohol use.
