In offices where drinking or drug use is tolerated, early warning signs may easily be overlooked. Availability of alcohol in the office may seem acceptable to some, but even casual drinking can be instrumental in leading to alcoholism, particularly when there is no supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Some industries may put staff in contact with potentially addictive substances, which accounts for the increasing occurrences of healthcare professionals requiring addiction treatment. The combination of pressurized environments and access to addictive medications can be a problem. On the other end of the spectrum, jobs that are boring, lacking in human contact, or highly stressful can also lead employees toward addiction. These risks are further increased when staff are faced with sexual harassment, verbal or physical abuse, or poor treatment from colleagues or superiors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/psyclarityhealthma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-6964339-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;pexels-mikhail-nilov-6964339&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ececec&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;10px&#8221; box_shadow_position=&#8221;inner&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;92%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1920px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/psyclarityhealthma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pexels-yan-krukau-7640766-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;pexels-yan-krukau-7640766&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Oswald|||on|||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||16px|||&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>SIGNS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Poppins|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all addiction is work-related, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/working-on-addiction-in-the-workplace-2017063011941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">70% of people<\/a> with an addiction holding down jobs, it is inevitable that these problems will manifest in the work environment.

Implementing company policy forbidding the use of drugs and alcohol at work is a useful preliminary step. However, it is also positive to promote a culture of health and wellbeing in the workplace, focusing on job satisfaction and proactive management of work-related stress.<\/p>\n<p>Providing education on drug addiction and alcoholism can empower employees to make healthy decisions or identify co-workers who may be in trouble. Encouraging open communication around drug or alcohol use may also allow staff to step forward if they believe they have a problem or suspect a colleague is in need of assistance. Furthermore, studies indicate that workplaces offering a supportive, drug-free environment are more likely to discourage a relapse for those recovering from addiction.Additional methods may include regular alcohol or drug testing, with companies conducting mandatory screening administered according to federal regulations for workplace drug testing programs.<\/p>\n<p>Protocols should be drafted around managing circumstances where positive test results arise, with employers needing to be cognizant of the sensitivities involved. Since the inception of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) around fifty years ago, an increasing number of companies have opted to implement these structures to manage such situations. As many as 77% of US companies now offer support to employees through an EAP.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/psyclarityhealthma.com\/service-partnerships\/employee-assistance-programs-ceaps\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Learn More About EAP&#8217;s&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#93ba33&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Poppins||||||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;#003f66&#8243; button_bg_enable_color__hover=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/psyclarityhealthma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pexels-energepiccom-313690-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;pexels-energepiccom-313690&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ececec&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;10px&#8221; box_shadow_position=&#8221;inner&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;92%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1920px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/psyclarityhealthma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pexels-shvets-production-7176325-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;pexels-shvets-production-7176325&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Oswald|||on|||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||16px|||&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>How Workplace Programs Can Help<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Poppins|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>EAPs can play a vital role in assisting employees suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction.
