Transforming Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment for the Betterment of All
Substance use disorders, or SUDs, have been on a steady rise in the workplace. In fact, 70.4% of all adults with an alcohol or illicit drug use disorder are employed. It’s also staggering to think that 10% to 15% of those in healthcare will misuse substances during their lifetime. Whether it be the lasting effects of being on the front line throughout the pandemic or the changing family and socioeconomic dynamics facing our communities, we must look at this not as an individual problem but rather as a problem gripping us all that needs attention now more than ever. We invite you to participate in this vital discussion on how the treatment of substance use disorders are being reimagined for the benefit of employees and the overall health of the organizations tasked with their well-being.
