How It Works

The 2006 President’s National Drug Control Strategy emphasizes two key points addressed by drug free workplace programs. The first is drug testing. The National Drug Control Strategy states: “In addition to creating a culture of disapproval towards drugs, drug testing also achieves three public health goals: it deters people from initiating drug use, it identifies those who have initiated drug use so that intervention can take place, and it helps identify those who have a dependency on drugs so they can be referred to treatment.” The second point states: “For adults, drug screening [at work] helps prevent initiation of use by sending a clear message that in order to work, one must be drug-free."

“Because the vast majority of American adults work, and many of these employees are parents, the workplace is an effective setting for prevention messages that have the power to spread exponentially to America’s families, schools and communities.”
