Ed Zuiderwijk, the Team Leader at Castle Craig’s outpatient clinic in the Netherlands explains that work is an important part of people’s lives and often one of the last places where addiction can be spotted.

People try to hide and maintain appearances at work, even while a lot of other things in their life go wrong: socially, financially, in the family.

Ed explains that since people spend a lot of time in the workplace, there must be some recognizable signals there. The jobs of people with drug or alcohol abuse problems are in some way negatively affected.

That is why employers should pay attention to the productivity and functioning of their employers as these are some of the big things where you can recognize something is wrong.
