Over 75% of the 12.3 million American adults who are current illicit drug users are also employed. Abuse results in impaired physical and mental conditions and can cause a deceptive state of euphoria or a false sense of well-being. Such abuse can lead to addiction causing dependency – physical, mental or both – that can create personal, family and financial problems beyond the abuser’s control. In this course, we will review the problems of drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace.
