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.
The medicines that are given to patients in hospitals to treat them are called drugs. They are given to help in relieving pain and help in recovery. But there are other drugs that people take that are not prescriptions by doctors. They take them for personal reason. Some take them to feel happy, some just to fit in with their friends, some to forget their problems and some take them to get attention.
Unlike in a state like west Virginia, where drug testing is not a requirement, some companies have a mandatory law that their employees have to be drug free before beginning to work for them and they are again tested annually or biannually to make sure they are clean. In West Virginia, the law of making the testing mandatory is yet to be passed.
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.
Programs to educate and enlighten people in their workplaces are sometimes put in place by some caring employers. The individuals are made to understand the dangers of abusing drugs, the side effects not only on them but on their loved ones too.
We can therefore see that the benefits of drug testing are immense. When a community is educated on that, we can have a drug free state. Children grow up knowing that drugs that are not given by a doctor are not good and it could make them unhealthy people in the society. It breeds a retardant society which is of no good at all, putting their heath in danger.
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.
