VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, April 6, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — As businesses begin to prepare for a post-pandemic world, ALAViDA – Canada’s leading virtual provider of evidence-based substance use treatment – will present a webinar April 15th titled, “Common Myths and Current Challenges with Substance Use in the Post-COVID Workplace.” Hosted by The Leslie Group, Canada’s fastest-growing independent employee benefits consulting firm with clients located across the country, the webinar offers powerful insights and compelling reasons to rethink how employers can provide cost-effective, evidence-based substance use treatment as part of a workplace benefits program.
More people are drinking more often during COVID-19. In a world where only one in 10 seek treatment due to stigma, sufferers typically get help only when confronted with a crisis. The longer they wait, the worse the problem will get – for them – and their employer. Substance use costs Canadian companies some $15.7 billion each year, in absences, increased healthcare costs, disability claims, and lost productivity. Alcohol costs employers over six times more than all other substances combined, but early intervention is proven to be more successful than traditional approaches at reducing long-term health consequences associated with drinking issues. It is estimated that effective substance use treatment nets a 565 per cent return on investment.
