Think an "Exxon Valdez" Can't Happen to Your Company? Think Again.....

Substance abuse in the workplace - including alcohol and illicit drug use - costs the U.S. economy well more than $200 billion a year in lost productivity. You don't have to be part of this statistic.

The U.S. Small Business Administration reports that alcoholism accounts for 500 million lost workdays a year and substance abuse results in a 300% increase in medical costs and benefits. Other facts associated with substance abuse are just as staggering. Don't wait around for it to happen to you. Take Action Now!

Research shows that substance abusers are:
  • 5 times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim
  • 2.5 times more likely to have lengthy absences from work
  • 3 times more likely to be late for work
  • Likely to use 2.5 times more medical benefits
  • One-third less productive
