Drug Test May Miss Drug Addiction
Parents take action
Narconon of Georgia warns parents that drug tests can be easily fooled. A parent may be content in thinking that their teen is not taking drugs, when the actual fact is that the teen is faking the test results. The teen may in fact be a drug addict.
There was a recent local report of an overdose when a family thought their son had stopped using opiates because he had a clean drug test. The truth was that he was cheating the tests and overdosed and died. He had been using drugs in their presence, but they were looking at the tests, not him.
Dogs can be persuasive, but the best long term solution is for parents to learn the signs of abuse of the major drugs – methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates. They all have their own signs and one can tell by observing if they are in the presence of a drug abuser.
Whatever the method, parents need to know if their child is on drugs. Failing to find out can be fatal.
Narconon drug rehab will provide free brochures to families who want to know the signs of drug abuse. We also provide effective drug treatment – 76% success rate.
