Drugs, the
true costs…
- 78%
of all illegal drug users are employed either
full time or part time.
- One
in twelve full time employees reports
current use of illicit drugs.
- One
in every ten people in this country has
an alcohol problem.
What do those
numbers mean to YOU? They mean that every
day, across this country, in towns large and small,
from small businesses to large corporations, the
problems of substance abuse are hurting the
workplace.
And that means a
major business problem for YOU. Because
substance abuse affects the bottom line, it costs
YOU money. How? Look how substance-abusing workers
compare to drug-free workers.

Accordingly, for

tool, entitled «The Self-Destructive Use of
Drugs.» This powerful, unique,

of this compelling educational substance abuse
prevention message are:

thoroughly researched and carefully drafted by
medical research experts.
- design and
content were reviewed and vetted by government
experts on substance abuse.
- uniquely
displays the
«mind-body-drug-connection», all in
one place for the first time.
- covers the
12 most commonly abused drug groups, both legal
and illegal.
- presents all
of the information in a actual, non-judgemental
manner.
- employs a
high-impact, full-color graphic arts design in a
19" x 31" format.
- uses a
color-coded key system to clearly relate text to
the diagram.
- printed on
heavy-duty, double, matt-laminated card stock
for durability and long life.
- ideal for
use as a high-impact visual teaching, training
and learning tool.
- the
information in the poster is current and not
time-perishable.
- contains
help referrals.
The primary
purpose is to inform and educate workers and their
families about the factual and objective truth
related to the use and abuse of drugs, both legal
and illegal.
From a workplace
perspective, can you imagine the impact that this
poster would have if it were posted on the walls of
every office open area, workshop, factory floor,
lunch room or employee lounge? We have absolutely
no doubt that the widespread dissemination of "The
Self-Destructive Use of Drugs" throughout the
workplace would significantly increase substance
abuse awareness and prevention among workers and
employers .
This relatively
straight forward and simple drug awareness poster
approach is a much simpler and less expensive way
to achieve many of your substance abuse reduction
objectives, compared with the administrative-burden
of the sometimes cumbersome and resource-intensive
programs that are often proposed.
- A national
distribution campaign of «The
Self-Destructive Use of Drugs» is
currently underway and we encourage corporations
across America to use this powerful information
poster as a centerpiece for any one of its
«Model Programs for Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Among Workers»,. Clearly, the wide
distribution of a compelling and
attention-grabbing product like «The
Self-Destructive Use of Drugs», with such
in-depth medical information, will have a
significant positive impact on reducing
occurrences of substance abuse in the workplace
and educate employee family members as well. We
trust that you will want to add this value-added
product to your line of awareness and prevention
materials.
