New research shows 75% of employers have workers affected by struggles with opioids; 30% of workers have family members with opioid misuse and addiction problems; 30% of employers have employees who have missed work due to opioids; 22% of employees experience impaired performance due to opioids; 18% of employees say they have employees arrested; and 8% report having employees who have overdosed. Given these impacts, it is unlikely coworkers aren't the first to know. Can coworkers help? Know how you could save life. In a caring manner, let your coworker know that you are concerned for their health and well-being. Then recommend use of the Employee Assistance Program or another source of help like your local County Crisis Line. Expect your offer of help to be declined at first. But stay tuned - a crisis or drug-related incident in the future or some related mishap will provide you with another chance.
