Statistics
In the 1980s, there was a steady decline in the use of alcohol and other drugs among 12 to 17 year-olds. After a decade of significant progress, however, a recent survey indicates that this downward trend has leveled off for some drugs, leaving the rate of alcohol and some other drug use in the United States still high.

Education
The reasons for drug use are varied.

Drug Use in the Workplace
More than 70 percent of substance abusers hold jobs; one worker in four, ages 18 to 34, used drugs in the past year; and one worker in three knows of drug sales in the workplace.

Loss of Productivity
In the workplace, the problems of these substance abusers become your problems. They increase risk of accident, lower productivity, raise insurance costs, and reduce profits. They can cost you your job; they can cost you your life.
