Chemical Dependency in the Workplace

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how drug use usually affects the whole family. For example, if a parent is using drugs he or she will often not fulfill their responsibilities to the other family members. If the parent using drugs is the primary bread winner this can mean that the family loses its accommodation or does not have enough money for food clothing and health care. Therefore this can cause the standard of living of the entire family to fall to unacceptable levels. The paper further discusses how on the other hand, if the parent who is using drugs is the primary care-giver in the home, then the whole family will suffer in different ways. Meals may not be prepared, and the house may become untidy, or even dirty. Children, and especially younger children, may feel fragile and afraid if their primary caregiver behaves in the erratic ways that drug use can cause.
