By Jessica Burns


In order to get relief from the hectic work schedule people tend to resort to drugs and alcohol. These are artificial chemicals that are induced in the body which has harmful side effects. There are employees due to work pressure come to office drunk. This may lead to indiscipline or misbehaving with the fellow mates. Drug and alcohol testing program at workplace is necessary.

Drugs may also cause loss of consciousness and sometimes lead to death. Other than alcohol there are other drugs like ATS, cocaine, benzodiazepines, cannabis and opiates. ATS is an antidepressant and it speeds up messages between brain and body making the user more alert and energetic. It can induced anxiety, paranoia and even seizures, overconfidence and risk taking behaviors.

Usage of alcohol or drugs can be tested by three ways oral fluid or saliva taxing urine taxing and hair taxing. Drug taxing has become important part of both professional and amateur sports. An athlete can be tested at any time in or out of competition. Some sports only carry out drug taxing during competition on the winning team are the top three competitors. Urine taxing and blood trying are the two types of drug taxing in sports.

Psychiatric drugs are used to treat psychiatric patients. It acts specifically on the parts of the brain affected in schizophrenia like a sedative without depressing the patient. Addiction to drugs in teenage cause severe health problem as it is there growing age.

There are rehabilitation centers to get rid of drugs. Once a person is addicted it is difficult to quit this habit. More than medicine the sheer willpower is required for a person to come out of this situation. In the centers they conduct lot of physical and mental health programs.

Even if a person has strong willpower to quit a bad habit he is unable to do so because of companionship. We pickup these practice due to friends and because of them we are unable to leave. Firstly we should strongly say no to these buddies.

The bad habit not only spoils our health but also the relationship with our family. We tend to admire our friends who are pushing us into this practice and think our family members are our enemy who actually are giving good advice. We must always remember it is our relatives who stick together in bad times.

Cancer, diabetics and asthma are termed as lifestyle diseases. These are contracted due to chemical intake from drugs. That is the reason why we see it is very common in high class people and not so common in a poor family like a farmer. Peasants do not have enough money so they eat only the vegetable from the farm.

There is only one way to live a successful and healthy life. Human being is should be in charge of his mind and body. We should not allow us to be controlled by a chemical material. We must think how many lives in our surrounding get affected due to this practice.
