  • 소개/요약Professional and societal debate regarding drug taking and drug-use problems occurs in cycles. In recent years a number of contentious issues have developed about the testing of urine, blood, saliva, and breath for evidence of drug use. Substances evaluated include alcohol, steroids, stimulants, sedatives, opiates, hallucinogens, and a variety of other chemicals both legal and illegal. Legal issues have been raised concerning the validity of testing procedures used and the reliability of evidence obtained, especially with preemployment drug screening. Other controversies center on the right to privacy versus the needs of society, and a variety of related topics. These issues and suggestions for maximizing the effectiveness of drug testing programs while minimizing legal challenges are discussed.
