​​“There is no area of society which is not 
​affected by substance abuse, and this includes the 
business community.
 Lost productivity, absenteeism, errors and accidents in ​the workplace can often be traced back to drugs which reduce, inhibit and in many cases eliminate creativity, competence and perception,” (National Institute on Drug Abuse: Drugs in the Workplace).

Why Should Employers Care?
  • Out of 146 million U.S. workers, 13.1 million came to work drunk or high in the last year.
  • Almost 10% of adult workers say they have gone to work with a hangover.
Full time workers aged 18-49 who reported drug use were more likely than those not using drugs to:
  • Have worked for three or more employers in the last year,
  • Taken an unexcused absence from work in the past month,
  • Voluntarily left an employer in the past year,
  • Been fired by an employer in the past year.
Drug-using employees are:
  • More than two times more likely to request early dismissal or time off,
  • Two-and-a-half times more likely to have absences of eight days or more,
  • Three times more likely to be late for work,
  • More than three-and-a-half times more likely to be involved in a workplace accident,
  • And five times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim.
