You've heard it on the news, or you've read about it online, but if you think our nation's opioid epidemic could never affect your workplace, you're wrong. The opioid crisis isn't only causing pain to those who have lost loved ones; it's impacting employers as well. Every day, more than 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids.
