Drug Addiction in the Workplace
Drug and alcohol addiction costs your company both time and money in the form of decreased productivity and increased absenteeism - not to mention accidents, insurance claims and higher healthcare expenses. To stay competitive, businesses must look for ways to alleviate employee addictions and promote a healthy, productive work environment.
Because there are different aspects of drug addiction, so too are there different avenues that are effective means of overcoming drug addiction. Outpatient treatments are good for those who simply relapsed and need a refresher or for those who have low-dose habits for short periods of time. Inpatient treatments are better for those who are serious about completely changing their direction in life and creating a whole new way of looking at the world through drug detox and rehabilitation treatment. The Canyon offers outpatient day treatment, inpatient residential treatment, sober living and aftercare to those who suffer from addiction issues, with a special focus on those who are also diagnosed with a mental or psychological disorder as well.
How Drug Addiction Affects the Workplace
Regardless of stereotypes and urban myths defining addicts, the majority (76 percent) are either full- or part-time employees. And yes, showing up for work under the influence tends to happen regularly. The workplace suffers from an addict's errors in judgment, moodiness, missed deadlines, and depending upon the job description, public safety can be at risk as well.
Recognizing Addiction in the Workplace
Behavioral signs of drug and alcohol abuse are somewhat discreet in the beginning stages of addiction, but if left untreated, they eventually become more blatant and unbearable for colleagues. You should be concerned if you notice that one of your employees is frequently:
- Arriving late, leaving early, or absent
- Complaining or lying
- Overreacting to criticism - either real or imagined
- Injured, either on or off the clock
- Aggressive, belligerent, delusional or defensive
- Experiencing blackouts or chronic short-term memory loss
Treating Drug Addiction in the Workplace at The Canyon
You may be surprised to learn that treatment for addiction usually costs less than replacing a professional-level employee. Factoring in advertising in the classified, interviews, relocation expenses and training as well as the time spent to do all of these and the productivity lost in the meantime, replacing high-level staff members can cost an employer sometimes twice the yearly salary of the person they're replacing.
The Canyon is a private drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility, and we have created a unique dual diagnosis treatment center that has more than a dozen cutting edge therapeutic approaches that you won't find anywhere else. These include equine-assisted therapy, art therapy and psychodrama, challenge and adventure therapy, all combined with traditional 12-step groups and single-gender and mixed-gender support groups run by Master's level clinical professionals. Our ability to treat psychological disorders and drug addiction simultaneously with integrated therapies and a team of clinical professionals makes us the premier licensed rehab center on the West Coast.
The Canyon at Peace Park is located in a beautiful wooded canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu, California, and it's where men and women learn to make each choice a positive choice. Our staff is educated and prepared to help those with dual diagnoses to thrive without drugs and alcohol. A combination of psychological and drug addiction issues can make learning how to cope with the pressures of a job, bills, family and friends overwhelming. At The Canyon, we provide you with the structure and assistance you need as you navigate the waters of responsibility without getting in over your head.

If The Canyon isn't right for you, we'll find the place that is.
