Addiction and work, by the numbers
One in ten Canadians experience symptoms of a substance use disorder.
Addiction costs the Canadian economy $24.3-39.8 billion.
Untreated or under-treated addiction results in:
- Increased disability claims
- Increased absenteeism
- Increased legal action
- Increased safety concerns
- Increased staff turnover
- Decreased profits
With the proper detection and treatment, these issues can be avoided.
