Substance Use Policy

A Substance Use Policy is a set of guidelines developed by organizations, schools, or workplaces to address the use of drugs and alcohol. It defines acceptable behaviors regarding substance use, outlines the consequences of violations, and promotes a safe and healthy environment. The policy often includes prevention strategies, support resources for individuals struggling with substance use, and clear procedures for reporting and addressing issues. Its goal is to reduce harm, ensure safety, and uphold productivity while providing a framework for addressing substance-related concerns constructively and fairly.
