YOU COULD HAVE A DRUG ABUSER ON YOUR PAYROLL!
Drug use affects people of all ages, incomes, and professions.
Studies including the most recent Government household survey show:
· It is estimated that nearly 9 million employees are currently
using drugs.
· 32% of employees know of the sale of drugs in their
workplace.
· Nearly 1 in 4 employees between the ages of 18 and 34 have
used drugs in the past year.
· Drug users do not limit their use to weekends; in one study,
20% of workers admitted that they use marijuana on the job.
· About 3.1 million workers between the ages of 18 and 34
have used cocaine in the past year.
The majority (about 70%) of adult illicit drug users are employed!
