Addiction in the Workplace• Abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs is costly to our

Nation, exacting over $600 billion annually in costs related to crime, lost work productivity and healthcare.

• Almost 1/2 of Americans entering the work force have used an illicit drug once in the past year.

• Many of these drug users are prominent citizens in our communities.

• They are business owners, doctors, civic leaders, parents and neighbors. Consider the profile of a regular cocaine user:

• Well educated [average of 14 years of education]

• Employed [77%] and well-paid [37% earn over 25K]

• 56% engage in illegal activity other than drug possession to support the habit.

• 15% of American Workers are under the influence while on the job, at least occasionally.

• Workplace drinkers are more men than women

• Managers more than their underlings• Younger rather than older• Single rather than married• 80% of work related problems come

from social drinkers, not people dependent on alcohol.

What’s behind an Intervention?• Gather all the facts

• Suspend judgment – what may be perceived as addiction could be something else.

• As an employer – to protect the company and the employee

• Some companies have “zero tolerance” policy.

• Others support individual in getting help – investment in employee is much greater than termination and re-training.

• Identify key stakeholders to participate in meeting with employee.

• Provide options (utilize EAP or HR to address the company policy)

• Offer treatment options to help with recovery.

Treatment Options• Outpatient Treatment

– Individual counselors work one on one with patient.

• Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)

– 4x plus a week but can live at home and continue to work.

– Typically in a group setting with some individual counseling

• Residential Inpatient Treatment

– Most offer detoxification services

– Group therapy

– Specialty Programs (Gender Specific/Food and Mood/Trauma)

Other Mutual Aid Groups12 Step Programs (Not treatment)

– AA– NA– Al-anon (for families and friends)

The Twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. As summarized by the American Psychological Association, the process involves the following:

• admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion;• recognizing a higher power that can give strength;• examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member);• making amends for these errors;• learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior;• helping others who suffer from the same addictions or compulsions.

What Does Recovery Look Like?My name is Will….. I have a life beyond my

wildest dreams, I live near the beach, I

have great friends and a family that I love

back as much as they have loved me.

Recovery has given me peace in my life I

no longer fear going back to prison or

rehab. I pay my bills and I know that one

day at a time God has brought people in

my life that have helped me shape a man

that I've always wanted to be. Today I love

my life with all of its ups and downs.

I don't wake up sick or riddled with fear. I

wake up grateful to be who God wants me

to be and getting better a little bit at a time.

My name is Jessica and I am a

grateful recovering addict and

alcoholic.. By the grace of God I have

now had the privilege of helping

hundreds of active and recovering

addicts and alcoholics find a new way

of life.

My hope for those coming in; let go of

everything you think you know and be

willing to change. You are not alone

and there will always be a chair here

waiting for you.

On the left: sick and suffering.

On the right: finally free
