Did you know that hair testing has a fascinating history? In the 1970s and 80s, researchers began exploring its potential for detecting drug use. However, early methods faced challenges, including accuracy issues and an inability to differentiate between external contamination and actual drug ingestion. Fast forward to today and Psychemedics has revolutionized the field. Our patented hair testing technology not only addresses those early challenges but also offers a comprehensive approach to substance abuse prevention. At Psychemedics, we believe in going beyond hair analysis. We provide insightful data that helps organizations make informed decisions about their drug testing programs. Our commitment to accuracy and reliability sets us apart, ensuring that you can trust our results.

🚨 Important Alert from the DEA The DEA warns of an alarming rise in illegal online pharmacies selling counterfeit pills laced with dangerous substances like fentanyl and methamphetamine. These fake pharmacies are designed to look legitimate, often using U.S.-based web addresses and offering deep discounts to deceive consumers. Tragically, counterfeit pills can have fatal consequences, as these illicit sites provide medications that are neither safe nor FDA-approved. For more information on staying safe, check out the full DEA article: https://lnkd.in/e5GN29fQ

Workers Compensation is a critical safety net for employees injured on the job, but a staggering 38 to 50 percent of all claims are linked to substance abuse in the workplace. This highlights a significant issue: individuals struggling with substance use disorders file three to five times more claims than their colleagues. Not only does substance abuse increase the likelihood of accidents and injuries, but it also contributes to higher costs for employers due to increased claims, higher insurance premiums, and lost productivity. Implementing effective screening and prevention measures, such as hair testing from Psychemedics, can help organizations identify potential substance abuse issues early on. By addressing these concerns proactively, employers can create a safer work environment, reduce the frequency of claims, and ultimately protect their workforce. Investing in such solutions not only benefits employees, but also supports the overall health and efficiency of the organization. By prioritizing workplace safety and accountability, companies can mitigate risks and foster a culture of well-being and support. #WorkersCompensation #SubstanceAbuse #WorkplaceSafety #Psychemedics
