Drug Test May Miss Drug Addiction

Who would have thought the day would come when parents would feel the need to hire police dogs to see if their kids have drugs? It seems far-fetched, but it is happening and the reasons are easily understood, especially as the world watches the memorial of Michael Jackson.  We have already lost too many.



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.

One Mans Tale of Addiction; Robert’s Story Part Four
 
This is the story of a man we are calling Robert. He was addicted to heroin for most of his adult life until he was went to Narconon Drug Rehabilitation and finally got clean. This is part four of this story.
He let his new girlfriend stay in his house and she watched his son for him most of the time. He also dated a few other girls simultaneously and rented them places to stay as well. He was making a lot of money. He met one girl and really liked her a lot. They had a lot of fun together, but she was very possessive. He said that he ended up having to break up with her because she did not want him to have anything to do with the children he already had. She said that she wanted him to have children with her but she would not feel comfortable doing so if he had to spend time with his other kids. They broke up shortly there after. Robert continued to date the three or four other girls and stayed in this situation for a few years.
