A drug problem in the workplace or even at home can be a major problem. Are you concerned about an individual that you have hired or are looking to hire? Are you worried about a love one and want to get them the help they need? We know it all when it comes to a
substance abuse investigation.
Properly handling a possible substance abuse problem is important. We first get a detailed background on the individual. This includes all their work habits to their physical appearance. Then we setup surveillance on them. With surveillance we typically follow the individual with a video camera and also take detailed notes. Once we have surveillance established, we are usually able to get close enough to them to do a number of things. We can get oil samples off their car door handle or even test a strand of their hair for a possible narcotic.
Here is an example of a substance abuse form that can be filled out by a company and one of their management team:
http://www.cityofgainesville.org/hr/common/docs/subabuseform.pdfThis is the definition of "substance abuse" according to Wikipedia:
"Substance abuse is the overindulgence in and dependence of a drug or other chemical leading to effects that are detrimental to the individual's physical and mental health, or the welfare of others."
"The disorder is characterized by a pattern of continued pathological use of a medication, non-medically indicated drug or toxin, that results in repeated adverse social consequences related to drug use, such as failure to meet work, family, or school obligations, interpersonal conflicts, or legal problems. There are on-going debates as to the exact distinctions between substance abuse and substance dependence, but current practice standard distinguishes between the two by defining substance dependence in terms of physiological and behavioral symptoms of substance use, and substance abuse in terms of the social consequences of substance use."
"Substance abuse may lead to addiction or substance dependence. Medically, physiologic dependence requires the development of tolerance leading to withdrawal symptoms. Both abuse and dependence are distinct from addiction which involves a compulsion to continue using the substance despite the negative consequences, and may or may not involve chemical dependency. Dependence almost always implies abuse, but abuse frequently occurs without dependence, particularly when an individual first begins to abuse a substance. Dependence involves physiological processes while substance abuse reflects a complex interaction between the individual, the abused substance and society."
