Employers

Our Solutions address the cost of behavioral health disorders within the workplace. Depression, alcoholism and anxiety are the most common behavioral disorders in the U.S.  They can erode people’s wellbeing, diminish their capacity to work productively and increase the overall healthcare costs of their employers. Unfortunately however, business leaders typically underestimate the impact of behavioral conditions in their strategic plans to contain medical costs and reduce worker absenteeism.

The following statistics were cited in the 2006 "Employers Guide to Behavioral Health Services" published by the National Business Group on Health.

Absenteeism

• Mental illness causes more days of work loss and work impairment than many other chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, and arthritis.
• Approximately 217 million days of work are lost annualy due to productivity decline related to mental illness and substance abuse disorders, costing United States employers $17 billion each year.

Disability

• Mental illness and substance abuse disorders represent the top 5 causes of disability among people age 15-44 in the United States and Canada.
• Mental illness and substance abuse disorders, combined as a group, are the fifth leading cause of short-term disability and the third leading cause of long-term disability for employers in the United States.
