Description

For companies implementing drug and alcohol policies and regular testing, our package is an ideal way to provide brief intervention for employees. The counselling is based on a motivational interviewing approach, and is suitable for those staff who are misusing substances and want to minimise the harm to themselves and their workplace.

A confidential process designed to assist the individual to:

• understand the effects of alcohol or drug use on self and others
• become motivated to make healthy changes and achieve goals
• reduce the use of alcohol/drugs to comply with company policy
• develop a change plan and learn new habits to implement it
• establish strong support systems to maintain well-being and work productivity
