Substance use can get in the way of employees’ relationships, work, and responsibilities and significantly affect their health. They may reach out for support. When they do, they should know that treatment works, and recovery is possible.

People who use alcohol and other drugs may never become dependent. Others may start to crave drugs or alcohol, which can lead to misuse and dependency. When a person’s use of drugs or alcohol turns from an occasional activity to causing problems in day-to-day life, they may have a substance or alcohol use disorder.

Untreated, substance misuse or dependency may lead to:

● Conflict or stress in professional relationships.

● Mental and physical health issues.

● Family, financial, and legal troubles.
