Employer Referrals
The effects and impact of Drug and Alcohol misuse on an individual and in the workplace can be significant. A survey from 2025 reported that, in the UK alone:
- 48% of employees say they’ve turned to addictive behaviours to cope with workplace stress.
- 71% of employers are worried about addiction-related issues in the workplace.
It is without doubt that the cost to employers for issues occurring due to drug or alcohol misuse in the workplace can be high – Lost productivity, sickness absence, dismissal and recruitment, health and safety breaches, accidents and damage to customer, team relationships and business reputation, to name but a few.
As an employer ourselves, Integrated Health Care Management Group understand that investment in key staff can be significant over a period of time, and the loss of any staff due to drug or alcohol use can bring about its own issues for the business.
It is a difficult topic to navigate for any employer. Challenged with doing the right thing by the business, whilst at the same time trying to honour your duty of care and employment commitments (legally and morally) as an employer to the affected staff member, most good employers find themselves wrestling with a complex dilemma.
Whilst private treatment may seem an expensive investment for most employers, the balance of “doing nothing” or simply dismissing an individual could be far greater in cost.
At IHCM, we already work with a range of UK and International Employers, including the armed forces, committed to supporting their key staff to tackle their issues of drug and alcohol addiction, whilst safeguarding their investment. Our treatment centres are uniquely designed to enable employees to engage fully with their treatment programme, whilst at the same time maximising digital technology to stay engaged in their work.
Cassiobury Court provides packages of treatment suitable for funding from most occupational health insurance schemes in the UK and abroad, working alongside the employer and employee to create the perfect solution.
Our Admissions Team work closely with Human Resource Departments, Occupational Health Services or directly with business owners and line managers every year.
