Drug-Free Business
Solutions (DFB) helps organizations remain drug free by providing
technology-based education and training for employees and
training supervisors about drugs, alcohol, and the workplace
programs to prevent their misuse.
The problem we address -
workplace substance abuse
- costs U.S. employers tens of billions of dollars
each year in accidents, injuries, medical care, absenteeism,
turnover, lost productivity and insurance premiums.
Drug-Free Workplace programs
cut the costs and risks of workplace substance abuse while
helping employees, families and communities

Workplace Substance
Abuse |
| |
Over 75 percent of illegal drug users work. So
do 81 percent of adult heavy drinkers. The result:
more accidents, lower productivity, higher healthcare
costs, and higher insurance premiums. That hurts,
especially with workers’ compensation
and health insurance rates rising at double-digit
rates.
Drug and alcohol abuse cost U.S. businesses
$100 billion each year. Small and mid-sized
businesses (SMBs) are especially vulnerable.
They have higher rates of workplace substance
abuse and fewer risk management programs in
place. In addition, SMBs are often thinly capitalized
and can be crippled by one substance-abusing
employee.
If your company has more than a handful of
workers, there’s a good chance that substance
abuse is costing you money. too.

Drug-Free Workplace
Programs |
| |
Drug-Free Workplace (DFWP) programs cut costs and
boost productivity. Some companies are required
by federal or state laws to be drug free. Other
companies voluntary participate in state programs
with built-in financial incentives, such as
workers' compensation premium discounts.
In either case, DFWP programs can improve safety,
cut healthcare costs and raise productivity,
which can save you money. And DFB’s products
and services make it simple and cost-effective
to be drug free. |
