Writers produce third book on workplace drug abuse
Bob and Deborah Wright of Westminster have written a third book on substance abuse in the workplace, "Creating and Maintaining the Drug-Free Workforce," published by McGraw-Hill.
Deborah Wright is coordinator for the Institute for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education at Carroll Community College. The institute is a partnership of CCC, county public schools and the county Health Department.
Several of the county's public school teachers have attended the 30-hour institute course and taken their knowledge back to their schools and communities.
"Creating and Maintaining the Drug-Free Workforce" is a 240-page, illustrated book on identifying and responding to employees with substance-abuse problems.
McGraw-Hill is releasing the book in paperback and hardback for business and consumer markets.
