    I wonder if they considered the amount of time the user has been on the drug with the amount of time they have been unemployed... What I'm getting at is did they look at it the other way around by asking the unemployed of their perception drug abuse contributed to their employment status...I agree non employed people need help and that most ARE unemployed because of a mental health issue (treated or untreated) or their drug abuse which might be a kind of self medicating of a mental disorder. What I would be worried the most about is people that are barely hanging on and have an addiction but also work... The stigma of having to miss work to go to treatment makes it almost impossible for middle to lower class functioning addicts to get the help they need.
