The nation's opioid crisis has been described as the deadliest drug epidemic in U.S. history. The crisis has permeated businesses across Central Ohio to treat work-related injuries or conditions protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A May survey of employers by the National Safety Council found that 71 percent have felt the impact of prescription drug abuse at work.

This hour will discuss cost of opioid addiction and the workplace.
