Narconon Idaho - Drug Abuse in the Workplace

Drug Abuse in the Workplace

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that drug use in the workplace costs employers approximately $81 billion annually in lost time, accidents, health care and workers' compensation costs.
Substance abusers are six times more likely than their co-workers to file a worker's compensation claim.
60% of employed drug users work for smaller companies.
30% of drug abuse in the workplace involves prescription drugs.

More and more companies are addressing this problem by implementing a drug-free workplace program, consisting of drug education and training for workers and supervisors as well as employee assistance for those already involved with substance abuse.

The Narconon® program can help in both of these areas as we provide effective drug awareness and training seminars as well as one of the world's largest and most successful rehabilitation programs.
