FACT #1: It is estimated that over 60 percent of people with a chemical addiction are in the workforce, contributing to the estimated $400 billion in costs associated with the illness. Employees suffering from addiction are significantly more likely to be impaired, hungover, or withdrawing from their drug at work. These physical and psychological states dramatically increases saftey accidents, healthcare costs, customer service complaints, turnover, absenteeism, and presenteeism, and decreases productivity, morale, and profitability.

An employee may have a drug or alcohol problem if they are showing:

Physical indicators such as: pinpoint or dilated pupils, bloodshot eyes, heavy or widened eyelids, runny nose, flushed, pale, or disheveled appearance, decline in personal hygiene.
Behavioral indicators such as: sleeping during work hours, patterned absences, frequent tardiness, slow movements or hyperactivity, slurred or rapid speech, inappropriate language such as cursing or threats.
Performance indicators such as: poor productivity, increased carelessness or frequent mistakes, unnecessary risk taking, difficulty concentrating or staying on task, customer service complaints.

FACT #2: According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, only 10% of individuals with Substance Use Disorder receive treatment for their condition. Employers are in a unique position to identify and assist staff who may be struggling with addiction, but may not be sure where to start or how to optimize their Drug and Alcohol or Wellness programs. Greenbriar's Community & Corporate Outreach Team can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have insurance?

If you or a family member are interested in treatment but do not have insurance, there are other options for funding. Each county in Pennsylvania has a Drug and Alcohol office (D&A). The prospective client should contact their home county D&A office and explain that they are in need of treatment, but do not have insurance. The staff at the D&A office will then instruct the client on necessary steps to receive treatment. Clients also have the option of paying for their treatment out of pocket. Arrangements must be made with Greenbriar's financial department prior to admission. County Drug & Alcohol Office Phone Numbers: Allegheny: (800) 553-7499 Beaver: (724) 847-6220 Butler: (724) 284-5114 Cambria: (814) 536-5388 Fayette: (724) 438-3576 Greene: (724) 852-5276 Lawrence: (724) 658-5580 Mercer: (724) 662-1550 Somerset: (814) 445-1530 Washington: (724) 223-1181 Westmoreland: (724) 832-5880

What type of treatment programs are available?

Will my family or friends be able to visit me in treatment?

Greenbriar Treatment Center offers a Family Education Program at the Inpatient level of care to gain a better understanding of addiction and have the opportunity to visit loved ones. The Family program takes place on Wednesday evenings from 6PM-7PM, followed by visiting hours from 7PM-8:30PM. In order to attend visiting hours, the family member must attend the family education hour and be pre-approved as a guest of the facility by the patient's therapist. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to the start of the Family Program. If you arrive later than 6:15, you will not be admitted to Family Programming. 2 guests per patient are permitted, and must be supportive of recovery. Each guest must be at least 11 years of age. Pay phones are also available for supportive loved ones to call in order to speak with their loved one in treatment on a daily basis. You must bring photo identification (ex: driver’s license, passport, school or work ID) in order to visit. Clothing and personal items may not be brought in on Family Program days. Items such as money, toiletries, cigarettes may be brought in.
