Working Drug-Free Works
Did you know 75% of the nation's current illegal drug users and 70% of the nation's heavy alcohol users are employed?

Drug-free workplace programs help protect employers and employees alike from the potentially devastating consequences of worker alcohol or drug abuse. Establishing policies, educating about the dangers of alcohol and drug use, deterring and detecting use, and urging people to seek help for alcohol and drug problems are smart safety strategies. They're also smart business strageties.
"Drug-Free Work Week" is a time to reinforce the importance of working drug free in positive proactive ways. Family Medical Center is proud to be a community partner not only in recognizing this special week but also to be playing a key role in offering services to area employers which help keep their employers drug free.
