How Drug Tests Work And Ways To Detox
by Mellie Mel My Pen Is My SwordAlthough thought to be intrusive in some
instances, drug testing is a quite common practice in today's society. Often
used by employers as a part of the hiring process or to maintain safety
standards, drug tests can be performed by analyzing a test subject's urine,
saliva, hair follicles or blood. Some drug testing procedures are more
frequently used than other depending on the situation and cost associated with
conducting a particular test. Understanding the process of the various drug
testing procedures is the first step in detoxing the body of unwanted drug
toxins.
Various Types of Drug
Tests
Drug testing by
urinalysis has always been the most frequently used method of drug testing due
to it's convenience, low cost and ease of implementation. The process involves
collecting a urine sample from the test subject which is tested for the
presence of metabolites. Detoxing the body by dilution is the best method for
cleansing the urine of unwanted drug toxins. The dilution process involves
drinking about 3 to 4 16 oz. glasses of water and taking a detox
supplement the day of
testing. Many people believe that implementing a detox supplement is not
necessary but this is not true at all. Detox supplements help put back trace
elements normally found in the urine that are removed during the dilution
detoxification process.
Saliva drug tests are
conducted by testing a collected sample of a test subject's saliva. Although
not quite as popular as urine testing, saliva drug tests are conducted much
more today than they have been in the past. Much of this is because of the
rising use of urine substitutes. In some countries saliva drug testing is used
just as frequently as urine drug tests. Several years ago Australian law
enforcement started conducting roadside oral saliva testing as means of
reducing DUI offenses. Saliva detoxing involves the use of a detox mouthwash or
detox supplement that's formulated to remove drug toxins from the saliva
glands.
Because the hair
retains toxins longer than any of the other samples that can be taken from the
body, hair follicle testing is the preferred method of testing by certain
organizations and agencies. Depending on the type of drugs existing your
system, it can take up to 90 days for the body to be permanently detoxed
however there are hair detoxifying shampoo products that can temporarily detox
the hair shaft in less than an hour. Removing existing hair from the body will
also work but that will surely send up a red flag for the testing
administrator.
Blood drug tests are more commonly performed
in hospitals, clinics or other medical setting because of the risks involved
with collecting and handling subject blood samples. Like urine, hair, and
saliva the body's blood cells retain drug metabolites that show up if a drug
test is administered by testing a collected blood sample. Detoxing the blood of
unwanted toxins involves using a total body detox program that will cleanse not
only the blood but an individual's entire system including their urine and
saliva of drug toxins that can be detected through the drug screening
procedure. Besides last minute detox supplements that temporarily remove toxins
from the blood, there are permanent body detox programs where no drug toxins
will ever exist unless reintroduced to the body.
Choosing the Best
Detox Program
Depending on an
individual's toxin levels, physical characteristics and other factors such as
metabolism, a safe detox program can always be implemented once it's understood
how drug tests work. It's always best to refrain from ingesting undesired
toxins when faced with the possibility of being drug tested however sometimes
it's just not that simple.
