Substance abuse is often used to mask or escape from pain, though it does not truly allow one to escape. When pain is not properly worked through, it can persist for longer than necessary, sometimes leading individuals to resort to substance abuse. Regular employee drug testing can help employers determine if any employees are abusing substances and underperforming as a result, as well as ensure all employees are held to the same policies. Drug testing equipment and services from CMM Technology make testing in Western Australia straightforward.

1. Looking for a Way Out
When someone abuses drugs or alcohol, they are
looking for a way out. Unfortunately, this is not
exactly what they are doing with their pain. They
mask their pain, so that they don’t have to feel it
anymore. However, they see substance abuse as a
way to escape. All addicts take this very seriously,
and they all see their pain as being so great as to be
worthy of escaping.
Well, that’s not entirely true.
Any pain which humans endure can be endured for as
long as it takes to work through the pain and then to
release it. When it is not worked through, however,
the individual remains in pain for a much longer
period than they were supposed to have. Then, in
order to escape it, they resort to substance abuse.
Once again, they are not actually escaping it. They are only masking it.
Business employees must be able to deal with unforeseen circumstances and to handle situations
as they arise. If they cannot do this, then they are only dragging down everyone else as they are
attempting to get things done. The thing is that many employees who are addicts are also
extremely talented at passing the blame on to someone else.
Once the blame is passed, it is very difficult to find out truly who was the originator of all the
slack in productivity.
Therefore, you really need employee drug testing.
If all of your employees are given screening tests on a regular basis, then everyone is evaluated
at the same time and they all must comply with your company policies. Then, you can determine
if there are some people who are abusing substances and some who are not. By using simple,
unbiased scientific data, you can really get a more accurate picture of what is going on between
employees.
