The cost of living varies per individual. Some people enjoy higher risk and maybe better lifestyles than others, while some people feel that safety, emergency coverage, and steadiness are the most important factors in money management. However you look at it, everyone must maintain a minimum income to cover their cost of living. When they are unable to do so, they may lose their current lifestyle, their jobs, their appearance, or even their own homes. Individuals who are not secure in their jobs or who do not feel as if their income is guaranteed tend to stress out on a pretty strong basis, since their cost of living may go up in flames.
Alcoholics handle stress by depressing themselves
Alcoholism makes its appearance as a depressant drug, calming anxiety, stress or fear. This can be a helpful tool to relax at the end of the day, but alcoholism turns it into a perpetual sickness, where you cannot go through the day without needing to depress and make things all better again. It becomes like breathing, necessary and beloved. When job insecurity rears its ugly head, the stress and paranoia from potential job loss, income loss, and resulting lifestyle collapse will definitely trigger alcoholic tendencies. Drug and alcohol testing definitely needs to be a part of your workplace environment.
Drug addicts seek a pleasant lifestyle
Whether drug addicts use stimulant or depressant drugs, they still must be functional if they are to keep their income, so functioning drug addicts attempt to keep their jobs while living their addicted life out of sight. As with all secret lives, the two get mixed up quite a bit and hardcore drug addicts are easy to spot on the jobsite. Their hyperactive bloodshot eyes, shaking body, deathly pale skin, and rotting teeth are just a few of the symptoms of drug abuse. This does not count their behavior which is noticeably altered from their normal sober state.
Obviously, workplace drug and alcohol testing is both necessary and cost effective. It helps to protect the livelihoods of those who are doing their job drug-free. Call Mediscreen today to ask us more about onsite drug and alcohol testing for Perth and Western Australia: (+61) 1300 79 70 40.
