In the last several years, heroin use went from around 100,000 American users in 2006 to a whopping 700,000 in 2013. This scary upsurge is nothing to ignore.
Stats Of Workers Under The Influence Of Heroin And Other Opioids
- 82% jump of workers testing positive for heroin drug abuse in the workplace between the short time of 2010 to 2013.
- Between 2003 and 2013, workers testing positive for opioids including hydrocodone (Vicodin) almost doubled and for hydromorphone (Diluadid) it nearly tripled.
To combat this epidemic, companies are increasing drug testing, partaking in a zero-tolerance rule and creating programs to help workers get treatment and get back into the workforce.
