Drugs are found all over the place now, and it’s easy for many people to get their hands on it. No longer are drugs just a problem on the streets, but they are being used where we live and work. Schools have started using drug testing just like the big businesses do before they hire you. Employment drug testing is something that many places do to make sure that you are coming into their work area clean and ready to work. However, they do not just do it when they hire you. Many of them do random drug testing throughout the year to be sure that you are staying clean and out of trouble.

There are different laws about employment drug testing, but the main thing to know is that businesses can ask that you do a drug test before they hire you. If you fail the drug test or refuse to take it, the companies have the option of not hiring you. Most of the time you hear about company drug testing being done whenever they go to hire you. This way they can see what kind of person you are before you enter into their work area. However, it soon became known that companies did this, and people started doing things to pass the drug test. Before they would go apply for a job they would stop using drugs for a little while. This way their system came up drug free, then after being hired they would go back to using again. However, this did not fool the big businesses for long, and they found another way to help keep the work area drug free.

Drug use is universally a problem. Unfortunately, younger and younger children are using drugs. What can we blame for this increasing drug use in today’s times? We could blame television and movies, the glamorization of drugs. Perhaps we could throw a bit of blame toward the media and the celebrities whose pictures are splashed across headlines every time the word drug can be used. When it all boils down, the two main factors that may influence whether or not a child will experiment with drugs is prevention by his or her parents or guardians and peer pressure.

The following chart gives approximate detection periods for each substance by test type. Data for urinalysis are reproduced from LabCorp’s . The ranges depend on amount and frequency of use, metabolic rate, body mass, age, overall health, and urine pH. For ease of use, the detection times of metabolites have been incorporated into each parent drug. For example, heroin and cocaine can only be detected for a few hours after use, but their metabolites can be detected for several days in urine. In this type of situation, we will report the detection times of the metabolites.

Drug Detection Periods

* Oral fluid or saliva testing results for the most part mimic that of blood. The only exception is THC. Oral fluid will likely detect THC from ingestion up to a maximum period of 18–24 hours.
* Urine can not detect current drug use. It takes approximately 6–8 hrs. post-consumption for drug to be metabolized and excreted in urine. Similarly, hair requires two weeks, and sweat, seven days.

If you have teenage children, or young friends, or vulnerable partners, you may worry about them being exposed to illicit drug taking.

Newer technology in drug tests now allow for hair testing. In the present, this is regarded as the most foolproof drug test. Drug residue from drug use, whether ingested or injected, remains inside the hair cuticle. Even if the user bleached, colored, or cut his hair, the residue would still be present and can be detected. This is also very popular since the collection of samples is not difficult and possible without embarrassing the tester and the candidate. Candidates do not need to worry about ruined hairstyles since the snips are done in inconspicuous places and are not noticeable. The latter kind of drug testing are also more cost-efficient for employers. Though the fees for the test is pricier than urinalysis, the company saves more because hair testing can effectively weed out drug abusers from the company’s ranks. This is because a drug-dependent employee cost a company as much as $10,000 in terms of unproductively, absences, and benefits. They are usually the perpetrators of office theft. Plus, the employees would be deterred from using drugs because they know that is cheat-proof. All in all, investing in drug and hair testing are worthy expenses for the employer

One in 100 of the drivers tested by Victoria Police’s world-first drug bus has returned a positive result for driving while under the influence of drugs, The Sunday Age believes.

This is 2 times the rate for drivers returning a positive result for driving while under the influence of alcohol when breath tested.

Police had planned to announce the staggering results for the drug bus last week, but delayed doing so because of the Bracks Government’s ministerial reshuffle, which saw Tim Holding elevated to the Police Minister’s portfolio and Andre Haermeyer relegated to Manufacturing, Export and Small Business.

The announcement, now expected to be made within days, is likely to show that more than one in every 100 drivers drug tested by police returned a positive result after laboratory analysis.
