Return to work for individuals with TBI and a history of substance abuse.
2000
The highest incidence of TBI is among young adult males who also have the highest incidence of substance abuse [1]. Since these individuals have long life expectancies, it is important that they are productive post injury; however, the employment rate is extremely low. This is understandable, given the fact that a person with either a TBI or substance abuse disorder would have difficulties with work. Naturally, the combination of the two compounds the problem and further complicates matters. This article provides an overview of how a Supported Employment approach can be used to assist persons with a TBI and substance abuse problems with returning to work.
