Substance abuse is on the rise and COVID-19 has only amplified the problem. Unfortunately, medical spend and lost productivity due to addiction is costing employers more than $25 billion per year.

In this webcast, Dr. Yusuf Sherwani will shine a light on the financial and business toll addiction takes on employers. From the rising costs of substance use disorders related to healthcare to worker productivity and absenteeism. He will also discuss the science of habit formation as well as today’s leading addiction care solutions.  

From Medication-Assisted Therapy (MAT) to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attendees will leave this webcast with proven strategies to help them combat addiction in their organization:

• Destigmatizing Addiction: Learn that addiction is not a moral failing or character flaw. Substance use disorder is a chronic brain disease that can be managed with medical treatment.
• Polysubstance Addictions: Be able to explain one of the most significant drivers of medical spend for employers.
• Three Pillar Approach: Articulate the importance of individually tailored, holistic treatment.

Who should attend: HR & Benefit professionals that work at larger U.S.-based enterprise organizations.
