In 2015 CBS news reported-- according to a government study-- 1 in 10 adults in the workforce have either an alcohol or drug addiction problem. In 2016, Quest Diagnostics analysed 10 million workforce urine test results and noted an increase across the board for cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamines meaning employees were using more drugs. The Drug Testing Index statistics in 2018 are constantly revealing the increase of drug use in the workplace and the on-going threat drugs pose to workplace productivity and safety. So, in general we can say alcohol and drug abuse is on the rise and not only in general but in the work environment. But what about the new kid on the block--- Opioids? Where do they fit into this grim picture? In this episode, we talk about the increase in opioid abuse not only in the workplace, but also in our communities and in our families. We explore the cause and effects, and what we can do to recognize and reverse this trend.
