Losing Time at Work Due to Painkiller Addiction

Painkiller “hangovers” or simply being too heavily under the influence to function causes many patients to call in sick to work. If you’re lucky enough to have paid sick days, these don’t last long, and bosses often become intolerant when their employees spend more time at home than they do at work doing their jobs. If you don’t have paid sick days, your income takes a hit immediately. Often, patients attempt to go into work even when they are under the influence of painkillers and end up getting sent home early or, worse, causing an accident that hurts themselves or others on the job.

Losing Your Job Due to Painkiller Addiction

When the sick days pile up and the work performance begins to show signs of wear, it’s not uncommon for patients living with untreated painkiller addiction to lose their jobs as a result. When this happens, it can be even more devastating than when painkiller addiction is not an issue. After months of lowered income due to addiction and inability to work, the loss of income entirely can put a person or family already in financial straits in serious trouble.

For some, the issue is compounded when they receive health insurance through their job. If that health insurance coverage helps cover the cost of painkiller prescription, losing the job can mean a double hit to finances: increased bills and decreased income.

Rising Bills and No Job Opportunities Due to Painkiller Addiction

Bills tend to stack up quickly when there’s no ability to pay them off. Many quickly lose their homes or are forced to file for bankruptcy. Trying to find a new job is often difficult, especially in the same small town or within the same industry. People talk, and if a patient develops a reputation for drug and alcohol addiction, it can be difficult to secure a new position. At times like these, the best choice is painkiller rehab.
