Drug Testing

Testing for the presence of illegal or banned substances has been in practice for some time, and is usually conducted by professionals and laboratories that specialize in drug abuse testing. Drug abuse testing is mandatory by law for many jobs and professions, such as commercial drivers, law enforcement and other emergency personnel, and required by most employers and sports associations. The substances being tested for may not always be illegal; in the case of athletes, many performance enhancing drugs and/or steroids may also be screened for violation of rules, rather than laws. There are two sides to the issue of drug abuse testing: safety of others, and the invasion of one's privacy. Many people...

Drug testing has become very common in both the workplace and schools within the last twenty years or so. Generally, urine testing is the most common form of drug screening. Many people are creative in their efforts to beat drug tests and have formulated many products to mask the appearance of drugs in the system. Products such as masking chemicals and even synthetic urine are widely available, and even the most severe cases of drug abuse may go undetected. Because of the ever-expanding market of products designed to help a drug user pass a screening, many employers are turning to hair follicle drug testing.

There has been a lot of talk about hair alcohol testing and how it matches up against traditional forms of alcohol testing. Some argue for the price of the specific test, there are others out there that can reveal alcohol abuse for half the cost of hair alcohol testing. The fact is, other tests like breathalyzers and urine alcohol testing can reveal alcohol consumption but not anywhere near the precision or the scope of hair alcohol testing. Essentially, by testing for alcohol abuse with hair alcohol testing once, you can reveal 12 months of abuse, whereas a urine alcohol test’s findings could only reveal up to a week or 10 days at best. Hair alcohol testing is extremely sensitive and exact, and...

There are two main schools of thought: It's the parent's right It may damage the trust within a family and generate distance between a parent and a child. Both positions have merit. In the end, it comes down to what you as a parent choose is right for your family. The truth is that kids don't always tell their parents what they need to know. Sometimes kids don't know when they're being led down a risky pathway. It's easy for a kid to get caught up in a situation and not know how to get out of it or how to tell their parents about it. In reality, parents are responsible for their child's actions and are the first to be held responsible when a child does something unethical. You might hear, "Where...

If kids know they may have a chance to be tested, they will think twice before trying drugs. Our US Deputy...

The use of drugs to enhance athletic performance is not a new phenomenon. Even in the earliest examples of the ancient Greek Olympics were marred by reports of athletes consuming foods, herbs, or other items believed to give them a great edge in their performances. Today, drug testing has become a hotly debated topic and has cost many athletes their titles, careers, and reputations. Early Examples of Drug Use While steroids may be one of the most tested for drugs among athletes today, the concept of "doping" actually involved many different ingredients just a century or so ago. Back in the 1800s, cocoa leaves, caffeine, and even strychnine were used by runners, cyclists, and other athletes to...

Making the decision to institute workplace drug testing is not something that should be considered lightly. All factors must be introduced into the decision making process so that you can be sure to make the right choice. Following in the Footsteps of Government Agencies The up side to government agencies requiring drug testing in the workplace is that it gives businesses the perfect opportunity to follow in their footsteps. The reason why you would want to consider this is because where private businesses have no limitations the opposite is true for government agencies as they have very tight rules and regulations. These tight rules are there to ensure that everything is done fairly and by the book...

"Drug taking is an almost universal phenomenon and, statistically, those that are not taking drugs are abnormal". Most people would like to disagree, but when you break it down, the above statement is remarkably accurate. How so? Well, a drug is defined as any substance that is used to modify a chemical process or processes in the body. In that respect, pretty much whatever we consume (or allow to enter our bodies) can be considered drugs. Still need convincing? Well how about a quick can of Red Bull to 'give you wings', or some paracetamol to help soften the aftermath of last night's antics? And the list goes on - tea, coffee, prescription medication, non-prescription medication, alcohol...

School districts, much like employers, have begun to implement drug-testing policies. Many school officials cite statistics relating to school performance and safety among drug users.

Supporters of high school drug testing often cite governmental statistics. These numbers show a steadily growing number of teenage drug users each year. Those in favor of mandatory drug testing suggest that such measures may be effective in keeping teenagers from using drugs. Fear of facing expulsion from school or punishment from...

The United States is probably one of the countries where addiction to drug and alcohol is one of the highest in the world. It is also probably one of the biggest problems that the country faces. Testing for drugs in the United States goes back almost 50 years. Let's have a look at this journey. The roots - 1960's It all began in the latter part of the 1960s, post the Vietnam War. Soldiers and military personnel made using drugs a habit in Vietnam.

So, this is where it all started. Soldiers and all other military personnel...

Drug testing is intended to identify individuals who are using drugs, and those individuals want very much not to have their usage known. That leads to the inevitable tendency for some test takers to attempt to cheat on those tests. While an array of cheating methods have been tried over the years, these methods rarely work.

Temperature Checks Many of the most common cheating methods are so easy to detect that even the least experienced tester would be able to realize the subject was trying to pull a fast one.

Drug testing is a complex issue. On one hand are employers and consumers who have a simple reason for supporting testing: they want assurance that the people they hire or pay for services are drug-free. After all, the average employer wants employees to be dependable, not chemically dependent, and fairly so. Employees who are on drugs pose a greater risk of creating mistakes, injuries, and lost productivity. It is reasonable that employers expect the best possible performance from their workers, and drugs do not promote that (except in the case of performance-enhancing drugs used by athletes, which have, however, damaged the integrity of individual athletes and sports in general). Also, in addition...

Addiction of one type or another is a part of life whether in the form of gambling, drinking, caffeine or tobacco and yet it is only for the addiction to illegal substances that people are ridiculed, shamed and abandoned. Today, scientific evidence proves that brain function is actually altered by addiction, making sobriety extremely difficult to achieve. Thought to be caused primarily by environmental factors such as a family's belief system, involvement with a drug using peer group or passed from generation to generation through genetics, addiction is frequently caused by a traumatic event or a series of events that create an emotional pain so intense that a person chooses to use drugs as a means...

A potential employer who has at least 15 employees (and is therefore covered by federal laws against disability discrimination) cannot require a job applicant to take such a test before offering the applicant a job. You must offer a job to a potential employee before requiring him or her to take a medical or physical examination. You might then be able to reject the potential employee if the exam shows that he or she cannot perform the essential job functions with or without a reasonable accommodation. Remember: If you reject the potential employee after failing the exam, then he or she will know that the only reason for the rejection was the exam. Therefore, you must make sure not to deny...

Here in Texas, it has been difficult to influence employers to implement drug testing in the workplace. In the construction industry, it has been even more difficult.

Drug testing was unheard of twenty years ago. Recent studies have estimated that as high as 49% of employers nationwide have implemented some form of drug testing. The incidence of high numbers of alcohol and drug abuse in the construction industry along with the high risk of...

A huge amount of research has gone into the development of saliva drug testing methods. The methodologies used continue to evolve as a result of all this research resulting in more accurate and reliable tests.

In urine drug testing the sample is collected in the privacy of a special booth constructed for the purpose or a toilet. The subject has the chance to provide a sample that is clean without...

It was practically unheard of for anyone my age to be using drugs when I was in high school about twenty years ago. Drugs were way too controversial for my generation, even though we did have parties and the majority of us were guilty of underage drinking. Drugs weren't completely unheard of in our small town because it was right outside of Philadelphia. We just had better things to do than take drugs during those years. However, the same high school that I went to now has a substantial drug problem. A lot of kids in my hometown have been caught dealing drugs or in possession of illegal drugs. In fact, parents are starting to give their kids drug tests at home in order to keep things under control...

It doesn't make sense to take that risk when you can easily and privately confirm or eliminate your suspicions with the use of the Detect Now Home Drug Test Kit.

Drug Testing Programs in Schools are measures that teachers and administrators of a school put into place in order to discourage drug use by students. School districts saw widespread implementation of comprehensive Drug and Alcohol policies starting in the mid-1980s. Although small town school districts have generally been slower to adopt these measures, teenage drug use has not spared rural and suburban schools either. There are many pros and cons in the school drug testing programs. Some say that the main purpose of school drug testing is not to catch kids using drugs, but to prevent them from ever using drugs, illegal or not. Once teenagers are using drugs it is much harder for them to break...

  Many substance abuse services provide the necessary tools to get over not only an alcohol addiction but any other type of addiction. It does not matter if you use prescriptions or street drugs; the fact is there is help available.   What Do Substance Abuse Services Include?   Twelve-step programs are very popular and have been around since the late 1930s. These programs are designed to help the substance abuser change bad habits and own up to all of his past errors that led him to the addiction. The steps are meant to be followed in a certain order and an addict can take as little or as much time as he need to complete each of the steps. There is no set time limit as long as the addict is...

I am one of the many who has been affected by a loved one who suffered from substance abuse disorder, and like most people around people who abuse substances, I was blissfully unaware for a very long time. I learned of it in the most horrible way possible - he had overdosed, and the entire event was followed by months of him in detox and rehabilitation, none of us being able to see him because, at the time, we had been too young. When we asked him, years later, what had driven him to it, his answer was a simple: "It was too much, my life. I was used to too much. And then all of a sudden, it was not enough. So I tried taking too much, and you know what happened." Billions of people are affected by...

I want to take the time to talk to you about police employment testing. A lot of people don't realize that they have to take a pretty comprehensive and tough test if they want to get a job for any police department. Another interesting fact is that the vast majority of people will fail it. Vast majority may be a little vague, so the exact number is around 70%. Hundreds of people apply for this job and usually at the end they have under a hundred people that go to the interviewing process. The testing process always seems to catch most people off guard, so I'm going to talk to you about the police employment testing. I think the best description of this test was told to me by an applicant that just...

Here's a question for you. Is customer service training a bad investment? For the sake of discussion, let's say that two new hires go through the exact same customer service training program. They learn what they should say to difficult customers in different situations. Unfortunately, HOW they say things can be as important, if not MORE important, than what they say. Can they take the pressure? Can they take the heat when customers push their buttons? What good is customer service training if your employees do what they are supposed to do in a way that makes things worse instead of better? My background in the field of employment testing and psychometric testing has taught me to look for specific...

Here's a question for you. Is safety training a waste of time? For the sake of discussion, let's say that a crew of employees go through the exact same safety training program. They learn how slowly and carefully they need to operate their machines and drive their vehicles. Suppose the pressure to keep up with production or delivery schedules mounts and everyone feels it. Because of the pressure, one employee pushes beyond the limits even though they've been taught otherwise and gets hurt anyway. What good is safety training if people don't actually do what they've been taught? Some will think they know better than the experts and do things their way. However, my background in the field of...

Hair drug testing has become the number one resource to assess the level of abuse a person is participating in.

These tests are becoming more and more the mainstream tests for drugs and alcohol because they are less likely to be circumvented. There's too much privacy involved with a...

Substance abuse treatment has taken a new twist with the invention of cognitive substance abuse treatment where the brain of a drug user will be studied in its cognitive responses and why it is possible for a person to become a drug abuser. One big reasons people fall into the trap of drug abuse is because they seek the sensation of a mental escape that they will experience for the duration for which the drug takes effect in their body after ingesting it. Cognitive substance abuse involves extensive researches whereby the patient's brain's mental state when the drug abuser is enjoying the recreational drugs he abuses therefore quantifiable data can be derived and the right remedies can be dispensed...
