There is a clearly perceived and rapidly growing need to do something that addresses the problem of the effects of substance abuse in our workplace.

The Construction Industry Rehabilitation Plan is a joint union / management program that offers help to people in the organized construction industry - workers and their immediate families who have problems, due to alcoholism or drug addiction, that are affecting their work performance or emotional stability.

The Construction Industry Rehabilitation Plan functions on a philosophy of confidentiality and trust.

The Plan's eight bed Treatment Centre has "been there" for more than 1400 tradesmen since opening in late 1989. These alumni have rejoined their families, their industry and their communties.
