Dear Corporate Sponsor,
The Council on Alcohol and Drugs, Inc., a 501(c)3 charitable organization since 1969, is offering your company the opportunity to have a major impact on a serious problem in Georgia. Substance abuse issues affect employees, parents, teens and adolescents, educators, health professionals and entire communities. Drug and alcohol abuse devastates the brightest hopes. From individual lives destroyed to families and communities torn apart, no other social evil wreaks so much havoc. Children are five times more likely to endure physical abuse, and ten times more likely to be emotionally neglected, if alcohol is abused in the home. Substance abuse is a factor in more than 80% of violent crime. The economic cost of drug and alcohol abuse in America is more than $160 billion per year. The tragic effects of drug and alcohol abuse touch every economic and demographic sector.

Sherwood Clinical in Demorest joined thousands of businesses nationwide in observing the first annual Drug Free Work Week October 16-22, 2006. Chuck Wade, Executive Director of The Council on Alcohol and Drugs and State Director of Drugs Don’t Work in Georgia, was Sherwood’s guest speaker. Wade, a retired undercover DEA agent, cited statistics showing that over 77% of all illicit drug users are employed. He stressed that, with so many substance abusers in the workforce, businesses need to enforce strong drug free policies to keep all employees safe.
The Drugs Don’t Work program provides a 7.5% discount on Worker’s Comp premiums for businesses that enroll in the program. For more information call The Council on Alcohol and Drugs, Inc., at (404) 223-2277.
