70% of employers say they have been impacted by SUD.
9% of employees have an untreated SUD.
The cost of SUD is $3,000 per employee.
Employees in recovery are absent less than employees without SUD.

Untreated Substance Use Disorder costs employers $81B per year.

You can estimate your cost by using the calculator that Shatterproof and the National Safety Council developed. For example, the cost to a 5,000-employee manufacturing company in Illinois is $1,500.000.

The opioid epidemic alone cost the US economy $631B over four years. $96B of that was covered by employers.
Costs are from absenteeism, presenteeism, health claims, turnover.
There is additional lost productivity from employees with loved ones with untreated SUD.
