This alcohol and drug abuse training program was developed by the U.S. Department of Labor to assist workers to understand the hazards of alcohol and drug use in the workplace. In many instances, the choice to use or avoid alcohol and drugs is made at an early age, and is based upon little or no factual information. All too often, that choice is made solely in anticipation of the moment of pleasure that one may experience from its use.
The training program that you are presenting was developed to help make young workers aware of the dangers of substance abuse to their health, their life styles and their careers. As a trainer, you want them to know that they may encounter the hazards of substance abuse, not only as abusers, but as coworkers, supervisors, relatives and fiends.
During this session, you should try to develop an open and honest discussion about substance abuse, not only in terms of the cost of drug abuse to society and the effects on job performance, but more importantly, the harmful side effects that alcohol and drug abuse can have on one's mind and body.
Keep in mind the objectives of the program (outlined on the following page) as you prepare and review information for this alcohol and substance abuse training session.
