The jobs are out there, but whom can employers hire? As the opioid crisis looms over America, more and more companies are finding it difficult to hire qualified candidates, entry-level or experienced, who can pass the initial drug screening test. Economically speaking, industries that are most affected by the opioid epidemic are the ones that hire for safety-sensitive positions, according to Digital Journal. According to an analysis of drug results for more than 10 million employees, Quest Diagnostics reports that drug use has reached the highest positivity rate in 12 years. Do you know anyone who may be experiencing the following problems?
• They can’t get a job because they keep failing drug screening tests
• They can’t move up the career ladder because drugs are keeping them at low-wage jobs,
which they’ll eventually lose if they keep abusing drugs or alcohol
• They are having trouble concentrating on important tasks that require attention to detail
• Their work performance is impaired due to drug use
Improve Your Chances to Get Hired
Why let drugs stand in your way of getting a great job with benefits? Employers need you now more than ever, and more jobs are available as the economy improves. Substance abuse problems are hard to overcome on your own; the detoxification process is not as easy as it sounds. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against self-detoxification practices, and evidence suggests that attempts to use Do-It-Yourself (DIY) detoxification kits could result in the development of psychosis. Getting the right kind of help with permanent results will help you land the job you want.
More Than Just Passing a Drug Test
Getting help with substance abuse treatment is about improving your overall quality of life, which is so much more than just trying to pass a drug urinalysis to get a job. New Method Wellness integrates medical detoxification with holistic therapy that has a wide variety of programs you can choose from, including but not limited to the following:
• Equine therapy
• Surf therapy
• Art therapy
• Massage/acupuncture
• Yoga
• Nutritional counseling
• Wolf-assisted therapy
• Psychoneuroplasticity (PNP)
• Meditation
Holistic therapy programs are designed to help you discover possible new interests, hobbies, and talents, which pave the way for a more meaningful life after treatment. As you learn healthier coping mechanism tools that will stave off temptations and triggers, you will develop more confidence in your own abilities and thus earn your (potential) employer’s trust as well.
Decrease Your Chances of Getting Fired
Are you on the brink of losing your job but can’t afford to take time off for substance abuse treatment? New Method Wellness works around your schedule with Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs that include nine (9) hours of therapy per week, consisting of individual and group counseling sessions, relapse prevention counseling, skill development counseling and more. The treatment plan varies widely from one individual to another, but regardless of which plan you choose – IOP or residential treatment – you will be paired with two therapists who are dedicated to helping you achieve long-lasting recovery. A premier dual diagnosis treatment center based in Orange County, New Method Wellness ensures optimum outcomes through its 3:1 staff-to-client ratio and has been recommended by Dr. Phil for the effectiveness of its addiction treatment programs.
