LOS ANGELES, CA - ARCpoint, a Los Angeles-based drug-testing company, is offering a week of free clinics on drug abuse in workplaces and families as part of National Drug-Free Work Week, the company announced Thursday.

American businesses lose about $81 billion annually due to lost productivity from drug and alcohol abuse. Employed drug users are more likely to be involved in a workplace accident, file a workers' compensation claim, request early dismissal, have extended absences and be late for work.

"Drug-Free Work Week is a perfect time to remind employers and employees alike that reducing workplace alcohol and drug abuse is a crucial part of keeping workers safe," said Elena Carr, drug policy coordinator at the Labor Department. "Of course, in a safe and healthful workplace, every week should be Drug-Free Work Week."

The Hazelden Foundation, a national nonprofit organization that helps people reclaim their lives from the disease of addiction, found that while most human resources practitioners recognize substance abuse and addiction as among the most serious problems faced in today's workplace, few companies proactively address these issues with their employees.

ARCpoint- Los Angeles is located at:
Beverlywood Health & Medi Center
2320 S. Robertson Blvd.
Los Angeles CA.
The office can be reached at 310-862-4333 , and appointments are available all week.

ARCpoint is a national company for affordable drug, alcohol, DNA and steroid testing along with background screening. The company has nearly two dozen franchises across the country, including the Los Angeles-area franchise and five others in California.
