From High to Job Denial: How Drugs Affect Your Career Prospects
Join Nancy as she discusses drug use and how it can ruin your career, and employee drug testing in the workplace.

Using drugs is a very serious thing, and it can cause really bad consequences for your job. First, if you use drugs at work, your boss might notice, and you could get into big trouble. They might talk to you about it, and you might even lose your job. Losing a job means you don't have that work anymore, and it can be hard to find a new one.

Second, if you use drugs at home, it can still affect your job. Drugs can make you not do your work well or make bad decisions. If you come to work not feeling good because of drugs, it can be dangerous for you and others. Your boss might find out, and they won't be happy about it. They want people who can do their job well and be safe.

Finally, using drugs can make people not trust you. If your coworkers know you use drugs, they might not want to work with you. Trust is important at work, and if people don't trust you, it's harder to do your job and get along with others. So, it's really important to stay away from drugs to keep your job safe and have a good career.



Drug Abuse Can RUIN Your Career
Many of those involved with the multiple forms of drug abuse think that their actions yield no consequences; drug abuse, to them, is normal and acceptable. To those around them, drug abuse can ruin lives. For those who need to work to make money, a drug addiction can easily ruin a career.
A career in the workplace always starts at the bottom. Drug abuse can easily affect these first few steps. Drug addiction can start at any time, but easily affects younger adults who are starting to form their careers. If drug abuse affects their job by coming in late to work or not showing up for work at all, they could easily be fired. This will keep them from moving up the ladder in their career. Drug abuse can cause the addict to lose their job.
Drug abuse can create multiple problems. Money can often be an issue. Money earned from a job often goes toward the drug abuse itself. Money that would need to go to things like rent, car payments, insurance, and groceries, goes toward the drug abuse. No house, no food, and no car can ruin a career. Drug abuse can cause addicts to forget things or purposely skip multiple events. The drug addiction helps ruin the chances of keep the job.
Keeping a job with drug abuse can be incredibly difficult. Late drug binges can lead to showing up late to work or not showing up to all. Neither of these things look good to an employer. Spending the money for vital needs on drugs can lead to a more difficult time at work; going to work high is never good. Drug abuse can lead to a slippery slope on the career path that will lead to disappointing results, and a wait in the unemployment line. It is better to seek addiction treatment early than let the addiction ruin your life in this way.
