Employer Services

Contrary to popular belief, most Americans struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD) continue to hold down a job. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), more than 70% of those abusing illicit drugs in America are employed; most binge drinkers have jobs as well. The most common illicit drugs abused on the job are Marijuana and Cocaine. Many employers struggle to retain good staff and manage the liability of substance use within their team. Traditional EAP programs do not offer enough transparency for employers to feel confident that the employee is actively pursuing help and that they are not carrying too much liability. Freedom Medical has unique programs that offer help for employers and their employees, transparency to the company, helping treat the problem in an individualized plan for the company and employee, to help retain staff and reduce substance abuse in your team.
