In only the late nineteen nineties it was projected that over two and a half million individuals would abuse drugs or alcohol in the workplace after the year 2000  This projection developed due to research conducted on the current addiction status of our citizens as well as the increase in drug and alcohol abuse that has been rising with each passing year.

Also in research conducted it has been shown that over two hundred and fifty billion dollars have been lost in the workplace each year since nineteen hundred and ninety-five due to alcohol or drug abuse at work.  This accounts for poor performance leading to loss of business and/or sales, accidents, absenteeism/tardiness and crime within work environments.

There are a number of National studies that have looked at drug abuse among teenagers. Marijuana continues to one of the most commonly used drugs but the new trend appears to be prescription pills. The following statistics is from the Office of National Drug Control. The intentional use of prescription pills, such as sedatives, pain relievers, tranquilizers, and stimulants, is the growing concern in the United States. Prescription drug use among ages 12 – 17 have become the second most illegal drug behind marijuana.

According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy there are three classes of prescription drugs that are commonly abused:

1) Opioids – Codeine, Oxycodone, and Morphine

2) Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants – Barbiturates and Benzodiazepine

3) Stimulants – Dextroamphetamine and Methylphenidate

Teenagers are viewing these drugs as a medically safe high.
