(Health-NewsWire.Net, November 18, 2015 ) Concord, New Hampshire -- New Hampshire Public Radio reports new findings that substance abuse among employed, middle-class citizens is causing a negative impact on businesses throughout the state. Three-quarters of the 100,000 people with a substance abuse disorder are employed with more holding jobs in the food service industry than any other. New Hampshire also holds the unfortunate honor of highest addiction rate among young adults per capita in the United States. Business owners in the state are typically not able to help employees seek treatment due to insufficient Employee Assistance Plans.
As a leading provider of drug rehab in New Hampshire, Drug and Alcohol Rehab New Hampshire understands the concerns of both employers and employees when dealing with rehabilitation services. Fiscal and family responsibilities prevent many from seeking treatment because they are unable to interrupt their daily schedules. Small business owners often cannot afford the insurance policies necessary to assist with the cost of addiction treatment. Drug and Alcohol Rehab New Hampshire pushes for a solution that would aid both sides.
A representative of Drug and Alcohol Rehab New Hampshire comments,
"It is unfortunate that so many people in New Hampshire and across the country do not or cannot seek treatment for the disease of addiction due to financial inability or other obstacles. Thousands of lives are lost each year due not to unwillingness, but inability to afford care. With such a large portion of the population of people with substance abuse disorders maintaining employment, providing them with assistance to get the help they need should be a top priority of all employers. Government incentives and support for employers who wish to provide such assistance should be in place."
