This course provides information concerning the effects of alcohol misuse and controlled substances abuse on an individual's health, workplace, and personal life. In addition to information on the five most commonly abused drugs - marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP - and alcohol, the course also provides the employee with information on club drugs and inhalants. A chart of drug and alcohol retention times in the body and a list of community helplines are all included. PDF files providing detailed information on the different drugs and other pertinent topics are accessible with a click of the mouse. There are chapter quizzes and a final exam.
A Certificate of Completion listing the course, the individual's name, and the completion date can be printed if a hard copy document is required/desired.
