New Information Briefs Provide Employers Valuable Advice on Cost-Effective Ways of Helping Employees Needing Substance Abuse Treatment 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). "Surveys have shown that 76 percent of people with drug or alcohol problems are employed and that their problems can have an enormous impact on productivity," said SAMHSA Acting Administrator Eric Broderick. "Our goal is to educate employers about cost-effective measures that can be taken to identify employees with substance abuse problems and help return them to full health and productivity." |
