Alcohol Cost Calculator

Most people with alcohol problems work - and the majority work full time. Among adults who currently have alcohol abuse disorders, 82% are employed (66% work full-time and 16% work part-time). Alcohol problems result in increased accidents, health care costs, absenteeism, and lost productivity. The good news is that alcohol problems can be effectively and inexpensively treated.

We are pleased to help promote the Alcohol Cost Calculator,  developed by the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Policy. The Alcohol Cost Calculator is an online tool that can help you estimate the prevalence and associated cost of alcohol problems in your population and the savings associated with intervention. By plugging in your demographics, including industry type, location and number of employees, you can generate a report specific to your company that can be used to present the business case to help you take action.

The calculator is one of a variety of tools and resources available through Ensuring Solutions to Alcohol Problems, part of the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Policy at the George Washington University Medical Center. Be sure to check out the Center’s other calculators, including one for health plans, one specifically focused on kids, and another focused on substance use disorders.
