Help and Advice for D&A dependent employees
A good Alcohol and Drug policy should offer assistance if employees come forward to declare alcohol and drug dependency and/or addiction. You may also wish to provide this assistance should an employee fail a positive test.
A positive result can be a traumatic experience, and those suffering from alcohol and drug dependency or addiction may welcome the help if offered by their employer.
The following list gives some suggestions of organisations that specialise in treating alcohol and/or drug dependency and addiction that you may wish to consider.

If your employee is of value to you, then a small investment in their recovery can be much more cost efficient to a company compared to the cost of re-hiring and re-training.. The value of a long standing relationship with an employee cannot be underestimated for those where recovery is possible with the right help, leading to an eventual return to work. If you would like to learn more about this option then the friendly team at Broadway lodge will be happy to help.
Statement from Broadway Lodge for AlcoDigital Business customers:
‘Have you considered the cost of recruitment and training?
