Gulf Breeze Recovery on the Employment Risk Associated with Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Leave a comment


Counseling at Gulf Breeze Recovery

“Many of our guests started their journey to addiction using opioids that were originally prescribed for work-related injuries. Unfortunately, after the physical injuries healed, they were left with addiction.” Barnett Gilmer, Executive Director, Gulf Breeze Recovery


GULF BREEZE, Fla. (PRWEB)



A person’s employment may put them at higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse. A study completed with 293,492 participants using data collected from 2005 – 2014 to explore if drug and alcohol use varied between occupations. The results were recently published and show varying risks of substance use according to the occupation.

Tying for the first-place spot as the highest risk jobs for substance use or misuse are construction and extraction jobs such as blasting, boring, drilling or mining. Not surprisingly, these positions are considered higher risk jobs for injuries, and that in part, is why they are also at higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse. In these job fields, the most commonly abused substances are marijuana, cocaine, and non-medically prescribed opioids.

Workers at construction and extraction jobs are at daily risks of falls, over-exertion, or injuries from heavy equipment. Injury rates and fatalities are high. Much of the work is repetitive and basically hard physical labor. Self-medicating the job-related pain they suffer by using marijuana or opioids is common. In a catch 22, the use of marijuana or opioids puts them at even higher risk for work-related injuries, as well as accidental overdoses.

Research also shows that continuity of work can affect employee rates of substance use. Those who have regular schedules and don’t miss work are less likely to use substances than those who have sporadic employment where they miss shifts of work or have an unstable work schedule. Odds for opioid misuse doubled for workers who missed three to five days of work within a month due to injury or illness.

Employers can take steps to decrease drug and alcohol abuse on the job. Research has indicated that employees of companies with written drug policies are less likely to use cocaine. Workplace drug testing resulted in lower rates of marijuana use with employees. When workplace alcohol testing and drug screens are a part of the hiring process and termination from employment occurs from a positive drug test, fewer employees use marijuana.

Creating a fair and effective drug policy can be difficult since both opioids and marijuana may be used either as medically prescribed or recreationally. It is prudent, however, that substance abuse prevention and harm reduction programs are in place in companies where employees are working high-risk jobs to prevent both drug-related risks of injuries and accidents and to decrease overdose mortality with this high-risk population.

Barnett Gilmer, Executive Director of Gulf Breeze Recovery, a residential drug and alcohol abuse treatment facility in the Florida panhandle, stated, “Many of our guests started their journey to addiction using opioids that were originally prescribed for work-related injuries. Unfortunately, after the physical injuries healed, they were left with addiction. Helping them recover from that addiction is our job.”

About Gulf Breeze Recovery: Gulf Breeze Recovery is a holistic treatment center in Florida that is changing the future of treatment for drug and alcohol abuse with the THRIVE® program, which is focused on overcoming chronic relapse. Gulf Breeze Recovery’s THRIVE® program is a non-12-step approach and individualized designed for those who are looking for a drug and alcohol abuse treatment program to produce a different and positive result. This non-12 step program allows you to drive beyond your addictions and promotes a new outlook on life.

The Main Reasons Why Drivers Use Car Insurance Quotes Online Every Six Months And Review Their Insurance Options

Leave a comment


Drivers should compare car insurance quotes online periodically. Online quotes will help drivers find competitive rates”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains why drivers should get car insurance quotes every six months.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/drivers-get-car-insurance-quotes-every-six-months/

Checking prices online every 5-6 months might seem a bit too much. In fact, drivers are recommended to get quotes at least two times a year. This will ensure that the client still benefits of competitive offers.


  • Car insurance prices are also modified periodically. Policyholders should be aware that insurance rates change frequently. Car insurance providers change their rates many times throughout the year to take into consideration different risk factors. Premiums rates can fluctuate from month to month or even day to day. The prices may not fluctuate dramatically every day, but in 6-7 months you will notice a significant difference.

  • Value depreciation over time. Drivers should know that older vehicles are less valuable. They should not pay the same insurance rate for a car that has less value than what he agreed to pay on your original rate. The current insurer is less likely to adjust the rate, so getting online insurance quotes is a good idea that can help you get a better deal.

  • Important life updates that modify the rates. For example, becoming 25 years old removes the “high-risk driver” label associated with teens. Also, getting married or moving to a safer place will lower the rates. Retiring and not having to drive to work will also help drivers qualify for a low-mileage discount.

Opioid-Related Claims Data Underscore Significance & Impact of Epidemic

Leave a comment



BOSTON (PRWEB)

Coverys, a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance, today released its latest Red Signal Report on opioids. The report analyzes five years of closed opioid-related malpractice claims to identify the major risk factors, warning signs, and safety vulnerabilities within the pain management process. Additionally, it addresses evidence-based risk recommendations and practice changes offered to improve patient safety and reduce malpractice exposure to opioid-prescribing clinicians.

A dramatic increase in opioid use over the past several decades has led to an epidemic of addiction and high-severity injuries. This growing tragedy is taking thousands of lives each year and is impacting patients, family members, and clinicians. This latest report focuses on the specific steps that relate to active pain management and associated risks that can contribute to opioid dependence and persistent use.

Key findings and recommendations from the Opioid Red Signal Report include:


  • 51% of events involved a high-severity patient injury and accounted for 85% of indemnity paid.

  • 43% of events had root-cause factors related to medication screening and prescribing.

  • 25% of events had root-cause factors related to monitoring and management.

  • 23% of events had root-cause factors related to dispensing and administering.


Strategies are included in the report, which is available to view on the Coverys website here.

This is the third report in Coverys’ ongoing Red Signal Report series. The series is designed to identify the major risk factors, claims warning signals, and safety vulnerabilities within specific specialties and clinical areas where education and practice change initiatives can improve patient safety, reduce malpractice exposures, and increase reimbursements for providers.

The report is co-authored by Ann Burke, senior director, risk management; Sharon Gilmore, senior risk specialist; Ann Lambrecht, senior risk specialist; Maryann Small, director of data governance & business analytics; and Anthony Zheng, data analyst.

Don’t Tranquilize Pets on the Move Advises Air Animal Veterinarian

Leave a comment

“Don’t give tranquilizers, CDB or THC products to pets before a move. Many airlines have banned their use. Our pets can’t complain, but they may act frightened or may become aggressive when tranquilized.”–Walter M. Woolf, VMD, Air Animal Founder and Veterinarian


TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)

Air Animal advises pet parents not to dose their pets with tranquilizers before a pet move. Tranquilizers affect pets differently than they affect people and the outcome may be unpredictable, says Dr. Walter M. Woolf, Air Animal’s veterinarian owner.

“In pets, tranquilizers dilate the veins and arteries slowing blood flow. They depress breathing. And, they reduce the natural ability to regulate body temperature. All of those responses can cause medical problems during transport. Our pets can’t complain, but they may act frightened or may become aggressive when tranquilized,” he said.

Air Animal recommends asking a veterinarian about a DAP collar for dogs or Feliway cat pheromones. DAP collars and Feliway can help pets in a range of stressful situations: air travel, settling into new homes, fireworks, Christmas, new baby and staying home alone. They may also help prevent or reduce stress-related inappropriate behaviors including excessive barking, destruction/clawing/chewing, house soiling, pacing, trembling, salivating. Re-training may be required to eliminate unwanted behavior. DAP is not usually recommended for hyperactive or aggressive pets.

Thundershirts, another type of calming device, cannot be used on board aircraft. Airlines have prohibited them because they may constrict the pet’s chest and lungs and cause breathing problems during flight.

“We don’t recommend using CDB treats, oils or THC-derivatives either. They can also muddle hearing, vision and balance,” Woolf added.

Moving is stressful enough. Pet moving made easy® is our focus, our passion and our promise.

About Air Animal
