Addictions in the Workplace

The course approaches the concept of addiction from a disease model perspective. It provides an historical overview of alcohol and substance abuse in the workplace and focuses on the historical role of EAPs in addressing workplace substance abuse and associated negative effects on health and productivity. The course also surveys and explores newer waves of illegal workplace drug use, eating disorders, gambling, and Internet pornography addiction. Finally, the course will present effective policy development, procedures for interventions, appropriate screening instruments, and current best practices and psychopharmacological treatments.
