The Necessity Of West Virginia Drug Testing

By Sharron Cantu


Any kind of addiction needs to be taken care of. This can only be done with the consent of the person involved. However, in West Virginia drug testing is not a requirement especially in the private sector. The law has not been passed in this state to make it a must.

When one is sick and they go to see a doctor, whatever they are given to relieve their pain or to treat them is called a drug. This is usually only taken on prescription by the doctor. There are others that are taken not for any ailment but just for one to feel good or high get high. When they get used to it they become addicts and they cannot do anything without it.

It is not uncommon in the states for a company to want its workers checked before being employed. But not in places like West Virginia. The employers ask their workers to be tested so that they can have a healthy workforce for better results in their companies. They are done on employment and then they are repeated after sometime like every six or so months.

Some people feel that making them take the test is some sort of punishment, they do not understand that it is for their well being, to make them stay clean and healthy. The effect of the workers who do drugs on a company are so many like, they slow down productivity, some become rude and even violent and they do not listen to their superiors. They do as they feel and that affects how the work is done in a company.

While some employers have it as mandatory, some view it as a waste of time and money, not caring whether their workers are affected or not, as long as they work and if you do not work well according to what they want you get the sack. The health of the worker is not their problem. They feel it has no effectiveness at all, to the real drug addiction problem.

Some companies have programs to teach their workers all they need to know about drugs and the benefits of testing. When this is done not only are the workers healthy but the company work also improves. The relationship between employer and employee is good and this is a benefit for both parties.

Generally, testing for drugs is a good thing because, it even saves on the medical for most people because addicts sometimes have many problems like not eating well and this brings with It some sicknesses that are associated with malnutrition making them go to hospital and the treatments they are given are expensive as they sometimes have to be checked into a rehab to stop the addiction first because treatment without rehab is the same as no treatment at all.

It is not a bad idea making it a must for people to be tested. They can even do it to older school children as some of them get the addiction from their parents or siblings. Some get it from their peers when they sometimes want to fit in.
