Using A Saliva Drug Test

2011-02-07T03:02:00.000-08:00

If you have been using certain types of illegal substances, and you find out about a saliva drug test that will be done, you need to start figuring out how to handle it. Saliva drug tests are good for the last few days at least. These can test several drugs including Amphetamines up to three days, Opiates up to three days, Marijuana up to twenty four hours after use, Cocaine up to three days, and Benzodiazephines up to three days. So check out what you are using and see how long it can stay in your system, then you may be able to figure out a solution to your problem.

A saliva drug test is easier for everyone as it is easy to collect and not easy to fake with another sample. The testing individual takes a cotton swab and runs it around in your mouth. Some have a cotton pad where the toothbrush bristles should be. They place the cotton pad between the gum and the lower jawline for about three minutes, and it will collect the saliva. After collecting the sample, they place it in a sterile container for testing.

The one problem with saliva is that drugs cannot be detected in it for a very long time. So you have that on your side if you are using illegal substances. They also cannot detect a history of drug abuse either. If your employers has any suspicions about you taking any kind of illegal substances, they can use this particular test to find out if you are.

They will look for personality changes, missed deadlines, really strange reasons as to why they were missed, money stolen, a change in behavior and performance, and sudden outbursts over really small things. Any of these is a reason to test you for illegal substance abuse. Your employer doesn't really need a reason just a suspicion. Some companies enforce unannounced drug testing for just that reason.

These tests can be used for pre-employment screenings, after a bad accident, or maybe when you return to work after a long illness. Anything that piques your employers interest is cause for a test, announced or not. If you have been given a second chance after being caught, do not screw it up by going back to the illegal substances again. These tests usually take at least one hour to get results.

There are home test kits you can purchase at the pharmacy or online to test yourself before a big drug testing at work. They can tell you what your result will be so you will knowhow to proceed with the test. Should you take it or call in sick that day? It can also tell you how much of the illegal substance is left in your system by the amount shown. These figures let you know how long it will be before you are clear for all the illegal substances.

Perhaps the best way to be sure you pass the saliva drug test is to make sure there are no illegal substances in your system. Get into a helpful program or stop altogether. You will need to make sure you have been clean for at least two to three days for some substances not to show up on the saliva drug test. Many people think they can beat these tests, but it is not that easy.

Urine Drug Tests

The following article mentions synthetic urine, but it does not give details about how to hide a container with synthetic urine on the day of a urine drug test. The following article also lacks details about how to encourage the formation of sweat in the skin (a technique for washing-out toxins). There are websites that offer instructions for those test subjects who want to hide synthetic urine. Those who hope to sweat-off tell-tale toxins might consider talking with a wrestler. Wrestlers usually have a familiarity with how to work up a good sweat, the sort of sweat that can hold a lot of toxic substances.

If you are a drug user who is facing a urine drug test, you need to study how a sponge retains soap. Such a study should show that one can only remove soap from a sponge by squeezing out as much soapy water as possible. In the same way, only the ability to push water through the kidneys can help with removal of toxins in the body.

A drug is metabolized in the body. When the body can not further alter the resulting metabolites, those metabolites are stored in fatty tissues. The skin contains lots of fatty tissue. Only the ingestion of large amounts of water, combined with an added amount of perspiration can push the stored toxins out of the fat cells.

The drinking of most diuretics does not help the drug user who must prepare for a urine drug test. The drinking of an herbal tea will not help to push toxins from fatty tissues. Organic cranberry juice, a fruit juice often used by patients after surgery, can get blood moving quickly through the kidneys, where it then becomes filtered.

Failure to follow the above advice could cause the excreted urine to take on rather “suspicious” characteristics. It could, for example, have a specific gravity that was less than 1.0 or greater than 1.030. An awareness of the expected characteristics in natural urine can help with the discovery of useful synthetic urine.

Some drug users prefer reliance on synthetic urine to the use of toxin-removing techniques. Synthetic urine can substitute for natural urine, if it can be made to “look like” the real thing. Natural urine has a pH that is greater than 4.8 and less than 7.5. Natural urine has no protein, no glucose and no ketone bodies.

Natural urine has a range of colors. Urine can resemble a number of different liquids: water, lemon juice, whiskey and guiness. A test subject generally does not want a test administrator to be able to differentiate synthetic urine from one of those four liquids.

A young man who is taking a urine drug test does not want synthetic urine that contains hCG. That hormone (hCG) is found in the urine of women who are pregnant. The presence of hCG in test urine from a male subject would uncover the unnatural source of that urine. Even a woman should not want to have synthetic urine with hCG, especially if she hopes to get a new job. An employer does not want to hire a woman who will soon ask for a maternity leave.

Of course, any concerns about the ingredients in synthetic urine can be forgotten, if a drug user pushes all of the toxins from his or her system before the urine drug test.

Alcohol Saliva Screen Test

2011-02-04T10:44:00.000-08:00

The concentration of alcohol in saliva is very close to that in the blood, for that reason it is more accurate than the other types of tests. Alcohol Saliva test is intended for use as a rapid, highly sensitive alcohol test to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva and to provide an approximation of blood alcohol concentration.

It may also be used to non-quantitatively detect the presence of alcohol in many other fluids, such as soft drinks, blood serum, water, etc. It was designed and patented in 1988 as a simple, cost-effective solution to screen for alcohol concentrations. With over 10 million tests, this test has proven to be the leading alcohol screening device in the field.

Alcohol Saliva test is very sensitive because it indicates alcohol levels from 0.02% to 0.30% and requires no instrumentation or training. Saliva test can be used at any time, anywhere each in its individual and disposable package...
