Substance Use in the Workplace

In this episode we interview occupational medicine and addiction medicine board certified Melissa Cheng, MD. It is a fascinating look at substance use in the workplace- identifying the data on the 9.5% of U.S. full time (12% part time) employed people with a substance use disorder and where they are working. How the pandemic has changed substance use in the explosive ways and what employers and medical systems can do better to provide a safer and de-stigmatized work culture.   Check us out on facebook @Theaddictionfiles or twitter @THEADDICTIONFI1 or Instagram  Theaddictionfiles No explicit language but this podcast discusses the abuse and treatment of legal and illegal drugs and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
