The Hidden Cost of Ignoring Addiction in the Workplace

When companies avoid conversations about addiction, they don’t avoid the consequences. Substance use disorders cost U.S. businesses over $400 billion annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, turnover, healthcare, and legal issues.

Yet more than 75% of employers report having no clear strategy to address it. That’s not just a gap—it’s a risk.

At Head Up Services, we help businesses turn risk into readiness. From second-chance hiring to policy compliance, our training and consulting services create workplaces that are safer, smarter, and more human.

Insight: Addressing addiction isn’t a liability—it’s a leadership move.
