Employer efforts to address substance use disorders among employees are more important than ever, and these resources can help.
More than 13 million employees struggle with substance use disorders (SUDs) in the U.S., according to addiction education and mental health platform Addiction Center. Studies show that, on average, these workers miss twice the number of workdays as coworkers without a SUD, have a greater risk of accidents, injuries and disciplinary issues, have lower productivity and morale, and cost the economy billions in work-related loss.
