Help for Employers

Nearly 9% of working adults in the U.S. have a substance use disorder. Misuse of drugs and alcohol among U.S. workers results in reduced productivity, increased time missing from work, and more frequent health insurance claims. If you have employees who are struggling with substance use disorders, the following resources can provide you with the information and solutions you need to address the issue.

You can also contact Lake Area Recovery Center. We can help your employees get on the road to recovery with addiction counseling, residential treatment centers, and intensive outpatient programs.
