to face.

Work can often be a major source of stress in life, and that stress has a direct relation to the chance of developing a substance abuse problem. <\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/42-worrying-workplace-stress-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A survey showed that 83% of workers in the United States feel stressed at work, while 63% claim they are ready to leave their jobs as a result of that stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work can be incredibly stressful and take a severe toll on the mental well-being of employees. This problem only becomes more serious when accounting for the relationship between stress and substance abuse. The effects of stress on the brain are similar to the impact of chronic addiction. <\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2732004\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A person who is often stressed is more vulnerable to developing a substance addiction and will be more likely to relapse even after treatment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A full-time job will also take up a lot of time and energy that a person may otherwise put towards treatment. In an ideal situation, an employer should show understanding of their employee&#8217;s desire to seek help for a substance issue. However, many programs take up time during work hours, and inpatient treatments require a stay within the facility that often lasts at least one month. Unfortunately, not everyone may be in a situation where their employer shows this level of understanding.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">For people who feel that they need treatment but are unable or unwilling to miss work as a result, evening programs are available. Evening programs are an outpatient treatment service that occurs at night to avoid daytime conflicts with work or school. These can be beneficial to many professionals who need treatment for a substance use or mental health issue. If the issue is severe enough, though, inpatient treatment will still be the recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fe9357d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7fe9357d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Signs of Workplace Substance Use\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-724fa21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"724fa21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an employer suspects that one of their employees may have a substance abuse problem, it is important to look out for certain signs.

Evening and professional programs are designed for people fighting substance use or a mental health challenge while holding a job. These programs usually occur at night or after work to allow people to attend without it interfering with their work hours.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warner Park Recovery Center has recently implemented an evening program designed to give treatment access to professionals who may otherwise not have availability during the daytime. This program is available for people dealing with a substance use issue or mental health disorder.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program offers three group meetings per week that can be attended virtually through our TeleMed options. Although many will take advantage of the virtual support, we suggest that each client participates in in-person meetings at least once per week. In-person sessions often encourage higher levels of participation which is beneficial to long-term sobriety. Outside of group meetings, clients in the evening program will meet with an on-staff therapist once or twice a week, depending on the needs of the individual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For people who may be battling a severe substance use issue, outpatient treatment may not be enough. It is essential to realize the importance of self-care and personal health. If a job is unwilling to allow you to take time to enter an inpatient program, it may be time to move on. At Warner Park, we supply clients with a career counselor and resume building services to help them find the best job available after treatment has ended.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3631f7ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3631f7ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Let Us Help You With Addiction Treatment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-570c2a2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"570c2a2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/warnerparkrecovery.com\/\">Warner Park Recovery<\/a>, we\u2019re here to help individuals and families by providing exceptional addiction treatment options.
