Chrysler Forum
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are not just a personal health issue—they represent a costly, pervasive crisis that is wreaking havoc on workplaces across the nation. Despite affecting millions, SUD remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, largely due to stigma and an overreliance on ineffective treatment models. In this keynote, we will dive into the staggering scale of the problem and its far-reaching implications, and explore why traditional approaches are failing to capture the true needs of affected employees. Finally, we’ll equip you with key questions to determine whether your organization might benefit from a more targeted, specialized approach to substance use management. Join us as we challenge conventional wisdom and peel back the layers of this hidden crisis.
