the impaired Nurse Assisting treatment to achieve continued employment

Drug use in America has become an epidemic. Use includes illegal drugs, like cocaine or marijuana, prescription drugs used illegally by those who steal or divert them, and the inappropriate use of legal drugs, such as alcohol, over-the-counter medications, and prescribed drugs. The impact of illicit drug use is often seen in the workplace, where its presence results in rising costs to the employer in terms of worker's compensation, absenteeism, a decrease in the quality of the work done, employee assistance programs (EAPs), and drug testing.
