Stewart-Marchman Center understands the pervasive nature of substance abuse and its effect on American society. In particular, we recognize the threat that substance abuse poses in the business community for employers and employees alike. We endorse established Drug-Free Workplace (DFWP) concepts and practices - as outlined in Florida Statute 440.102 - as the best way to reduce the negative impact of substance abuse in the workplace. And, we have made a commitment to bring the Drug-Free Workplace experience to greater numbers of employers by offering convenient, affordable DFWP services to area businesses and organizations, with special attention paid to the needs of small businesses.

James E. Weite, Jr., Executive Vice-President Cypress Bank, said about the program, "We care about our customers, and we care about our employees. Our Drug Free Workplace program just makes good business sense."
