  On November 5, 2018, the Maryland Department of Health co-sponsored a workshop to address the challenges of opioids in the workplace. The workshop reviewed the medical, legal, ethical, fiscal, and regulatory challenges confronting Maryland employers, workers, and others involved in the response to opioids in the workplace. The workshop identified opportunities for possible collaboration and intervention to help Maryland businesses in areas including modifying social attitudes regarding substance use disorders, increasing knowledge through education and training, providing resources, changes to insurance policies related to pre-authorization, working with the legal community, treatment, drug testing policy, employee assistance programs, and the role of the primary care provider.
