Key Mountainside Operating Insights

  • Over 80% of people we assess meet criteria for detox, despite lower acuity offerings: indicates hesitancy to establish care early.
  • Oftentimes, we receive calls from the loved ones rather than the individual struggling: indicating a greater desire to change by the loved ones sooner than the identified patient.
  • Calls typically occur after catalyst event: willingness to change often only happens once pain is great enough (rock bottom event).

How Addiction Affects the Workplace

While families are dealing with addiction, they may feel stressed and overwhelmed leading to high turnover, burnout, sub optimal performance, and absenteeism. Empowerment training may help reduce these factors
and boost employee satisfaction.
