Your company or employer may require pre-employment or routine drug and alcohol screenings as part of a drugs and alcohol policy, or to comply with the Health and Safety Executive’s requirements.
Drug use tests are often requested by physicians or drug abuse counselors, in order to fully understand a patient’s symptoms, drug use, and medication history. These tests can be done using urine or blood samples, and will definitively show the presence of specific drugs in the body, and their quantities. Results are confirmed using definitive analytical techniques to ensure accuracy.
The urine drug test shows the presence of amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, some opiates, and other street drugs. The blood test is usually used to detect opiates, although the urine test can show some opiate results as well.
One of the most significant benefits of drug abuse screening in a corporate setting is the enhancement of workplace safety. Employees under the influence of drugs are more likely to be involved in accidents, potentially causing harm to themselves, their colleagues, or even customers. By identifying and addressing drug use, companies can significantly reduce the risk of workplace accidents and ensure a safer environment for all employees.
Drug abuse can severely impact an employee’s performance, leading to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and a higher likelihood of errors or substandard work. Through drug abuse screening, companies can identify employees who may be struggling with substance abuse issues and provide necessary support or treatment.
Employees with substance abuse issues often incur higher healthcare costs due to associated health problems. Additionally, companies may face legal liabilities if an employee under the influence causes an accident or injury at work. Drug abuse screening helps in mitigating these risks, potentially leading to lower healthcare costs and reduced legal liabilities for the company.
Drug abuse can lead to a range of physical health issues, including chronic conditions and acute medical emergencies. It also significantly impacts mental health, contributing to conditions like depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
Substance abuse can strain professional relationships, leading to conflicts and a negative work environment. It may also result in behavioural issues that disrupt team dynamics and workplace harmony.
Chronic drug abuse can have serious implications for an employee’s career progression, including loss of job, missed promotions, or a tarnished professional reputation.
Please note, that our clinic does not offer chain-of-custody drug testing.
Drug abuse screening is a critical process used to identify individuals who may be using illegal drugs or misusing prescription medications. This screening can take various forms, from questionnaires and interviews to physical tests like urine, blood, saliva, or hair analysis. The primary goal of drug abuse screening is early detection, which can lead to timely intervention and treatment, potentially preventing the escalation of substance abuse into more severe addiction and its associated health and social consequences. Drug abuse can severely increase liability costs for oganisations.
