Substance Abuse

SSM Health prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, sale or use of illicit drugs or alcohol in the workplace, on University premises, or as part of the University activities.  All employees are expected to abide by these standards of conduct as a condition of employment.  Trainees with a history of drug and alcohol dependency must notify their program director prior to admission and will be required to work with the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).  The University reserves the right to perform “for cause” drug testing and requires drug testing prior to contact with patients.
