Inova believes the use of illegal drugs and the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol are health issues as well as societal issues, as they affect both the health of an individual and the health of the public. Drug and alcohol abuse have severe negative consequences for both mental and physical health and have tremendous negative implications for the health of the public. Inova works with employers of all sizes to help detect the use or abuse of illegal drugs, impairment due to the use of illegal or prescription drugs, and the abuse of, or impairment due to, the consumption of alcohol.
