Course Description
The devastating effects of substance abuse spread far and wide. In the United States alone, millions struggle with addiction and its long-lasting consequences. Many have come to view drug use as an epidemic that has claimed thousands of lives across the country. Addiction doesn't take a break, is without restrictions, and is an unbiased force. It seeps into every facet of their lives, and the lives of their family, friends, and peers.
Drug use in the workplace, as an aspect of substance abuse, is far more common than you would think. In this course, students will learn about workplace drug abuse and what it can do to a person and the business they work for. The course topics will be divided into two groups:
- The identifying aspects of substance abuse. These sections include the types of drugs a person can be addicted to and their effects. The history and causes of addiction, the legal status of addictive substances, and the warning signs of abuse will also be discussed.
- The effects of substance abuse in the workplace and what you can do about it. This will cover policies, programs, and other options available for both employers and employees of affected businesses.
This course is intended to be both an educational tool and a resource on substance abuse for those who need it. By the conclusion of the course, you should be prepared to respond, recognize, and act on instances of workplace drug abuse.
