THEORIES OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION IN THE WORKPLACE

Workplaces have been identified as important structures for the implementation of alcohol abuse prevention programmes (Ames, 1993; Cook & Youngblood, 1990; Gill, 1994; Heirich & Sieck, 2000; Parry & Bennets, 1998; Roman, 1990; Roman & Blum, 2002; Snow, Swan & Wilton, 2002). The need for substance abuse prevention programmes in the workplace has also been recognised by South African authors (Albertyn & McCann, 1993; Parry & Bennetts, 1998; Strydom, 1997). The National Drug Master Plan: 2006-2011 (Department of Social Development, 1997), which directs all substance abuse services in South Africa, has prevention amongst workers as one of its priority areas.
