More substance abuse center info

Apparently, the recently censured Guilford County Substance Abuse Treatment Center has had some successes, according to Chosen Fast.

For those who want to see it, here's the full audit report for the center, penalized with $1,500 in fines by the state for numerous errors.

A little background: The place only recently opened after years of work to get a long-term rehab center for the county's indigent addicts. We did a story back in June after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Families and businesses should test or screen their family members and employees.

If they did they would reduce the costs of substance abuse. To a family the cost can range from higher healthcare costs to the loss of a loved one. For businesses that do not test or screen the National Chamber of Commerce says it is costing them around $7,000 per year per employee that uses drugs. They estimate that 17% of the nations work force uses drugs.
