Seventy-five percent of illicit drug users are employed somewhere. And most don't fit the stereotype. They work for companies just like yours. Chances are some of them are working for you right now, at your headquarters, in the field or at their homes.

Employee drug abuse wrecks the lives of users and their families and greatly impacts co-workers and customers. Because drug abuse so often leads to occupational safety risks and sub-standard productivity, it undermines a company's profitability.

The Council reaches employers and employees through customized services available to businesses. We provide brown bag presentations to companies. We conduct assessments and evaluations for employees who test positive in drug screens. We consult with companies and review drug policies. We are knowledgable in all drug-free workplace efforts. We are up-to-date in related laws and regulations. Companies - small, medium or large - often prefer to call The Council as their one-stop-shop when it comes to any alcohol- or drug-related issue.
