The Cost To Your Business From Addiction

The Need

Health insurance premiums are increasing at an unsustainable rate of 5.5% year over year. According to the National Institute of Drug Addiction (NIDA), 20% of the US population suffers from an addiction problem.     Seventy percent of all substance abusers are currently employed, and more Americans die from substance misuse per year than all automobile accidents and gun violence combined. Policies with larger deductibles and copays discourage utilization of benefits, making a bad problem even worse.  Substance misuse is costing the US economy nearly a trillion dollars per year.

How much is it costing your organization?

Substance abusers use 7-times the health care benefits of non-substance abusers. The spouse of a substance abuser incurs 3-times the healthcare costs.  Employees battling substance abuse are 35% less productive at work and over 40% more likely to steal from their company. Fifty-percent of workplace violence is substance misuse related and 1 in 3 sexual assaults.   Corporations risk litigation and severe damage to their brand as a direct result of substance abuse.  Only 4%, or 2 million of the 50 million Americans needing treatment are receiving it.   Why?

The current model for treating addiction is costly and ineffective.  The cost of a typical 28-day program is between $30,000.00-$100,000.00.  Eighty-percent of people relapse within 30-days following treatment and 90% within 6-months.  High deductibles and copays also contribute to under-utilization and lack of care.  Treatment can also be highly disruptive, requiring a minimum of 28-days removed from career, family and daily responsibilities.  With such poor results, insurers are increasingly denying claims and demanding verifiable metrics on the effectiveness of addiction programs.  The need has never been greater and the options for help never so limited.
