How To Be Drug-Tested?

Taking dangerous drugs oftentimes start as a pleasure-inducing recreational activity. However, due to continuous, after developing the satisfaction after taking drug, addiction comes associated with craving signs.

Drug addicts are noticed due to physical changes and emotional/social changes. People who exhibits bloodshot in the eyes, dilated pupils, bad physical appearance, weight loss or even weight gain and mannerisms. Emotional changes involve severe mood swings, irritation and being out of control. Most drug addicts also experiences anxiety, panic attacks, delusions or being out of their mind. Lastly, social changes are exhibited by disassociation, engaging into ruthless fights and work/school/relationship problems.

People who experience these changes are mandatorily required to take drug tests. Drug testing aims to reveal whether a person uses illicit drugs. The results can help a person to be aware of his/her condition and to take the necessary steps towards rehabilitation and recovery.There are several two favored ways on determining whether a person uses drugs or not. These are: laboratory tests and using home kits.

Laboratory Tests

These are methods that are done by getting samples such as fingernails, blood, urine, feces, or saliva and then examined in the laboratory by professionals. Laboratories uses technologically advanced equipment used for Urinalysis, blood tests and Fecalysis. The results are often communicated immediately, right after the examination and are conclusive of all the details needed to know by the patient. This is by far, the most effective way of drug testing

Using Home Kits

Sometimes to avoid the risk of falling in line and the hassle to go to a nearest hospital, people resort on home kits.Drug test kit is a portable, efficient and effective way of getting drug test results instantaneously. These kits are effective in testing for marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine, barbiturates, ecstasy, and opiates. The kits include panel drug test kits, and drug specific test kit. 

The results are released in a span of five minutes with no lab required (except for some tests like urinalysis). However, using these kits involves detection risks and patients are also advised to visit laboratories to get appropriate results. Urine tests are said to be 97-99% accurate and hair-based tests are more accurate because it is more sensitive. Materials in hair-based test kits are more reactive and deliver better results. These kits are available in some drug stores, Walmart or online selling sites.

Drug addiction is a serious problem and necessary steps should be taken immediately. Using these two ways, a person can know his/her drug status. Truly, these tests are helpful in determining the future of those who are drug addicts.
