New Information Briefs Provide Employers Valuable Advice on Cost Effective Ways of Helping Employees Needing Substance Abuse Treatment
(1/15/09) Employers now have free access to a series of 14 two-page briefs outlining the benefits (including financial) of helping their employees receive treatment for substance abuse. The 14 briefs were developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
