Turnover and Substance Use: What It Costs and What Can Be Done

Workers with an untreated substance use disorder (SUD) are less likely to stay with an employer through a year than their peers who do not have an SUD or who have recovered from one.

Overall, three-quarters of workers report having a single employer in the previous 12 months. A worker who experienced an SUD within the last year was less likely to have only one employer (67%) in the prior year. Workers who have recovered from substance misuse are virtually indistinguishable from their peers who never experienced an SUD.
