There is no area of society
which is not affected by substance abuse, and this
includes the business community. Lost productivity,
absenteeism, errors and accidents in the workplace can
often be traced back to drugs which reduce, inhibit and
in many cases eliminate creativity, competence and
perception.
With drug
abuse rising in the workplace, many substances are being
used. Prescription drugs account for 30% of the
substances, which are not always detected by standard
drug screens. The prescription drug of choice is
Vicodin, a painkiller. Others frequently abused include
Demerol, Darvon, Tylenol with codeine, anti-anxiety
drugs such as Xanax and Valium, and stimulants such as
Ritalin. The Narconon Program helps people to fully
understand the mechanics of addiction and explains what
exactly drugs do to a person's mind and body. This
information leads people to know why certain feelings
come with drug use and how to avoid getting into the
downward spiral of substance abuse.
People using drugs in the
workplace not only destroy their own lives, but very
often put others around them at risk as well. It is this
factor that makes it so important that employees are
educated in the consequences of drug abuse.
Drug Awareness Seminars
Narconon offers several seminars for both
management staff and all employees that provide the
essential information about drug abuse in the workplace.
In addition, employees will learn information they can

today. Increased awareness is key to living life
drug-free. Our methods are proven and confirmed by

Employee Drug Awareness Seminars

employees are often unaware of the real truth about
drugs and their physical and mental effects. Many do not
realize the consequences of "casual" drug
use - it's effect on
job performance, the resulting incompetence, illness,
inability to concentrate, and accidents. Employees need
a basic understanding of alcohol and other drugs, and
how they
affect a
person physically and mentally. These issues are covered
and attention is given to the casual or "social" use of
drugs. They will also learn how employees have a
responsibility as members of the group and that drug use
