“Drugs Don’t Work” Program
The Problem:
60% of the world’s production
of illegal drugs is consumed in the U.S.
Nearly 74% of
current users of illegal drugs are employed
1 /3rd of
employees know of the sale of drugs in their workplace
Nearly 1 in 4 employed Americans between the ages
of 18-35 have used illegal drugs in the
past year.
20% of
young workers admit using marijuana on the job.
The Cost:
38-50% of all Workers’ Compensation claims are related
to substance abuse in the workplace; substance abuser’s
file three to five times as many workers’ compensation
claims.
Substance abusers have 300% higher medical
costs and benefits
Substance abusers are 2.5 times
more likely to be absent 8 or more days a year.
Substance
abusers are 1/3rd less productive.
DRUGS DON’T WORK is part of the solution.
