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.
A drug is a substance that people take to cure a sickness or relieve pain and is usually prescribed by a practicing doctor, but there are other types of drugs that are mostly self prescribed that are not for relieving pain but for pleasure or ecstasy and this mostly affect the nervous system. The continuous use of this kind of drugs makes one an addict of that substance.
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.
Some companies feel that it is a waste of time and money as they will have to pay for the testing. But they do not realize that it is cheaper to pay for that than to deal with the addicts who are not only hard to deal with but the time they waste being in and out of hospitals for the many different ailment they usually have or going through hiring each and every other time they have to go for rehab.
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.
It is therefore seen that when you educate a person on the benefits of drug testing, it is as well as educating the whole society as they educate each other, making it a progressive society with no risks of drug addiction.
So it should be made signed into law making mandatory for all people to be tested to improve the productivity of not only workplaces but the state in general because abusing drugs will reduce as no one who is an addict will be employed or allowed into any job opportunity by the government.
