What are some of the things companies are doing about employees suffering from drug or alcohol abuse? What approaches do these companies take and what programs do they offer? Can you recommend a reasonable policy?

Best answer:

Answer by krollohare2
Reasonable policy is to trigger health coverage and throw the abuser in rehab.

Nowadays, who knows? Some companies have no money for that.

Answer by Greshnab
most companies offer an employee assistance program that will have a certain number of free counseling sessions per year that are confidential.. most insurance companies cover rehab/detox.

due to the litigious nature of our society there really isn’t much the company can do without facing a lawsuit.. so they let their insurance carriers handle the issue.
