Substance Abuse: Manager's Role in Creating and Maintaining a Drug Free Workplace training program with DVD or e-learning program is designed to help gain a clearer understanding of the manager's responsibility regarding enforcing and maintaining a drug-free workplace. 
It provides answers to several of the most common questions managers struggle with, including:
· Do you need to be absolutely sure a person is using drugs or alcohol before you confront them about his or her behavior?
· When addressing performance issues with someone you suspect is using drugs or alcohol on the job, do you communicate these suspicions directly to the individual?
· If you confront the employee and they start crying or get angry, what do you do?
· As a manager, is it my job to diagnose and counsel an employee with a suspected substance abuse problem?
· Can we just spring a drug test on an employee we suspect has a substance abuse problem?
