Scholarly and lay publications regularly report that attorneys experience addiction at roughly twice the rate of the general population. Educating yourself is essential in addressing the concerns that can hamper a career. The following three documents provide a broad array of practical and current information to help you to understand addiction and the many ways one can choose to seek treatment:
- Addiction Referrals
- Addiction Signs, Symptoms, and Treatments
- Resources on Addiction
- Tips for Effective Communication
Help is available. Contact the Member Wellness Program to consult on a broad range of addictions issues.
