In this segment of the training, try to encourage discussions about solutions to the problems of drugs in the workplace, by exploring the following questions.
What should I do if I think I have a drug problem?
Talk to someone in your employee assistance program (EAP). An EAP is an important source of help. Many federal agencies, businesses and employers have an EAP in the company, or they have trained specialists who can refer you to an EAP. And the EAP guarantees confidentiality.
Help is also available through local community organizations, counselors or treatment centers. Many of these services are listed in your local telephone directory. Get a referral to a drug treatment center.
Call an information hotline. Some are listed on the next page of this booklet. Most are listed in your local phone book and available 24 hours a day.
How can I "Just say NO..."?
