09. Programming & Evaluation - Substance Use Support Program

Establish and implement a substance use support program for building occupants

Rationale: Regular, free access to substance use support programs while prohibiting “zero tolerance” policies effectively helps occupants recover from addiction, lowering the risks of related health issues such as accidents, injury, chronic disease, mortality, and depression.
