DIVIDERS

CW: so much actually, DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT, laced drugs lead to overdose, non con/dub con smut. MDNI. 3.6K Words.

The couple had only been there two days and Ember had noticed a lot of bizarre behavior from Arthur and Cain.

Ember stayed inside the room that Cain had given them, and she hadn’t left it without Arthur. Cain’s penthouse was large, so Ember worried she’d get lost and that something might happen to her.

The odd behavior keeping her in the room was vague, but she felt as if they were energized at strange times. Other times, Arthur would be more sleepy but it just wasn’t right.

Besides that, she also noticed that Arthur’s pupils would often be dilated and he looked more tired than before.

She didn’t want to assume anything, but it made her nervous. So, she stayed in their room, reading through a book.

Ember was in the middle of a sentence when she heard the door opening.

She sat up in bed, noticing how dark it was outside, and seeing Arthur coming into the light, “Apollo… where were you?”

The man closed the door behind him and walked further into the room towards the bed.

His blonde hair was a mess, his pupils dilated, and a tired hollowness in his pale skin, “I was talking to Cain about rent.”

“What do you mean?” Ember’s eyebrows furrowed together, but she reached up to touch Arthur’s thinning cheeks, “how much does he want to charge?”

“Well, he doesn’t want to charge me any money, but I used to buy pot from him when we had just gotten out of high school and well… That left me with a pretty big debt to him so he says he has to charge us something.”

“So if he doesn’t want to charge any money, how are you going to pay him?” Ember pulled her hands away, feeling her heart beginning to race inside her chest.

“Why don’t you spend some time alone with Cain?” Arthur’s voice was so casual, but his pupils were dilated and his eyes… they were so different since the fire, “he wants to get to know you.”

Shock fell over Ember suddenly, feeling as if she was having an ice bucket thrown over her head, “I’ll spend time with him and get to know him, but I’m not sleeping with him and I want to know that you’re okay with us being alone.”

His eyes widened slightly, then his eyebrows furrowed, his hands moved up to her soft face and stopped on her cheeks, “I’m doing this because I have no other choice. I wouldn’t want you alone with him under normal conditions.”

“Have you fallen out of love with me?” Ember asked in a voice so broken, her breath shaky as she looked into Arthur’s eyes, “have you, Apollo?”

He kissed her without thinking, holding her face and searing his burning desire for her onto her lips, “never, Calliope. I need you to do this. You don’t know who Cain Rey is, you don’t know what he’s capable of. We’re at his mercy.”

She nodded her head and looked up on his face, noticing that the red dot was beginning to fade slowly, “I’m not sleeping with him, but I’ll spend time with him.”

With that, Ember got off the bed quickly and started to get dressed. She was wearing her pj’s and she wanted to be decent, but Arthur grabbed her hand, stopping her.

“Your pj’s are probably the best. If Cain asks to fuck you, I’m giving you permission to have sex with him,” the man said it plainly, then added, “more like I’m begging you to go along with whatever he does. That man will hurt us if we step out of line. So if he asks, give it to him.”

“Are you fucking insane?” Ember pulled her hand away in a panic, walking away from Arthur entirely, “I am not going out there to sleep with him! What is wrong with you? I’m not a whore for you to pimp out.”

“I know you’re not! I’m trying to tell you that I don’t want this, but this is what we have to do,” he replied heatedly, going towards the room’s vanity, collecting paper’s off it, “here. I have his STD/STI results. He tested this morning.”

Ember took the papers in her hands, she barely glanced at the name of Cain Rey and started to tear the papers to shreds, “fuck you.”

Arthur sighed in irritation, “fuck me. It’s always fuck me isn’t it? What the fuck do you want me to do? I don’t have anything anymore. I’m asking you to do one thing for me so I can keep us here and so that we won’t die, and you can’t do that!”

“Fuck you,” Ember replied again, her eyes were swelling with tears, but she sat on the floor staring up at Apollo.

He knelt down so that he was still above her, and Arthur grabbed her by the waist to pull her in for another kiss, “I love you, Calliope… We have to pay Cain in someway.”

She was broken down by the moment and wanted to just return to loving Arthur.

So, Ember closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss. She sunk into it, and when she swam up, she walked to the door, “I love you, Apollo.”

When she stepped out of the bedroom, she came down a long corridor to return to the living area.

She tiptoed past so many different doors, passing Dandelion as the woman disappeared into the darkness and as Ember entered the light in the living area.

Immediately, she thought it was bizarre that Cain had turned the lights on. Ember had seen him and Arthur smoking pot for hours in the dark living area, but now that Ember was coming out scantly clad the lights were on.

Besides that, though, Cain wanted to seduce her and he felt the best way was to make sure she was comfortable. He noticed that Ember wasn’t as trusting in the dark, and for sex, he needed her relaxed so he made sure she could see him.

Cain stood up from the couch to greet Ember. He was a handsome man, there wasn’t any denying that, but there was something so dark and scary about him, “Ember… thank you for joining me.”

She knew none of this was right, but she tried to study Cain more in that moment. Ember felt the serious urgency of Arthur’s panic earlier, so she looked into the man’s deep blue eyes for an answer, “of course.”

Cain smiled at the girl. His eyes ran over her curvy figure with lust, but his smile still seemed sweet, “come sit with me, Ember.”

Her night gown was short, just barely covering her beautiful ass, and her breasts were pressed tight to the top. Hearing her name, she moved to his side on the couch.

His arm was on the back of the couch, and Ember sat a foot or two away, “you’re gorgeous, Ember. I’ve been thinking about you a lot, lately…”

She dropped her green eyes to look down at her hands, then she ran her eyes from his feet up to his face, “this isn’t fair to Arthur.”

He was wearing an unbuckled, unzipped pair of business pants, and his bulge was showing. He wore no shirt, each muscle on display in the lit room, his cross necklace still around his neck.

“Look at me,” Cain’s voice broke out, and when Ember met his eyes she noticed how handsome his confident face truly was, “if I lived my life thinking about what’s fair for other people, I’d be nowhere.”

His brown hair was a mess, but it looked so natural, effortless. His deep blue eyes were whirlpools to Hell, where sin was necessary for survival.

Arthur Marlowe was right, Cain Rey was terrifying.

In that moment, Ember felt this:

Almost like I was hypnotized, but he didn’t do anything except look me in the eye. It was so bizarre.

He moved closer to the woman, and she stayed in place staring up at his eyes. His fingers touched her arm and then moved down to her waist, “I know that you want me, Ember.”

“How do you know?” Her question was serious, but her green eyes followed his deep blue eyes as he drew her even closer to him, “I haven’t thought about you in that way.”

“I haven’t stopped thinking about you in that way, so I know,” he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers, parting her mouth with his tongue, then continuing to speak, “you won’t regret this.”

We could just have fun, we’re only young ones…

She didn’t feel as if she had any control, she felt as if she was floating out to sea. Her hands reached up to touch his arms as his hands pinned her down to the couch.

Cain’s lips went from her neck down to her breasts, his hands pulled her night gown up, and groped her ass tightly, “your body is beautiful.”

“I know,” Ember’s reply was nonchalant, and Cain found it coy, so he laughed.

“Want to smoke some pot so you can relax into sex?” the man asked her, pulling her night gown off over her head.

She nodded her head, and covered her breasts from the man, “yes please.”

“Don’t hide them, they’re gorgeous and I want to be able to stare at them,” Cain commented, but he got off the couch and went to the kitchen, grabbing a blunt.

He lit the blunt and walked over to Ember as he took a hit, noticing the girl was still covering herself, he spoke with a chuckle, “what did I say? Show them off, Ember.”

She looked him in the eye as he spoke, and she felt the trance like feeling come over her as her hands fell to her sides. Ember stared up at him, reaching up for the blunt, “not fair for you to hit it by yourself.”

Cain agreed and gave it to her. While she smoked, the man took her panties off, smelling her scent and smiling, “you even smell amazing.”

Ember took one hit, and as she inhaled the smoke she noticed that Cain was stuffing her thong in his pocket. When she exhaled, he spread her legs open and went directly to her clit, sucking on it with hunger.

The 19 year old closed her eyes, dissolving into the feelings for a second and moaning.

When she caught herself enjoying his mouth, she took another hit of the blunt. During the inhale, Ember felt Cain reaching between them, and pulling out his ten inch cock. As she exhaled, she felt his tip pressing against her opening.

Cain chuckled as he looked at her, “you relaxed enough to take such a big cock? Your pussy looks so small…”

“Lube, maybe, but I’ll take another hit,” Ember started to inhale, but she felt as if the first hit was catching up to her now… and something was wrong.

She didn’t mention anything, immediately, and Cain slid his cock in as she moaned slightly, still inhaling smoke. Ember realized the room was starting to spin, so she started exhaling the weed, “this weed is strong.”

“Yeah,” Cain replied, but he was moving his cock faster. The thrusts were hard and ruthless, as his hungry eyes looked down at the girl, “you’ve got the best pussy I’ve ever been in.”

The world kept spinning, a feeling of nausea coming over Ember, followed by patchiness in her vision. She blinked repeatedly, but the black dots were quickly filling her vision, “Cain, what’s happening?”

“We’re fucking,” he responded as he continued, not noticing the girl’s panic or deteriorating state.

You know you can’t leave now.

Her heart beat was racing out of control, and her vision blackening as she cried out, “Arthur!”

…

When the paramedics arrived, it was a team of three men.

Arthur and Cain recognized two of the men as friends from school, but Arthur was too stressed by Ember’s overdosing state to acknowledge them just yet, instead saying, “she used too much heroin, she won’t respond to us.”

Even in a moment where honesty was needed, Arthur refused to get himself in trouble. He led the paramedics to Ember.

She was laying unconscious on the floor in the living room. At first, the school friends of Arthur didn’t move, but the third paramedic was in charge of the call.

When everyone froze, the unknown medic went to her side to administer aide.

The man had black hair with blue eyes, and was the one in charge of the call, asking Arthur more questions as he started to administer the Narcan on Ember, “how long has she been unconscious like this?”

Arthur was about to answer, but Cain interrupted him, “we don’t know. We weren’t here. We don’t do drugs.”

The medic looked up from the woman for a second, looking at the four high school friends as they pathetically attempted to show the united front of a gang. Cain was their ring leader, but the medic wasn’t afraid.

“I don’t care what you do. I’m only here to take care of her and ensure she gets medical treatment. What’s her name?” the medic started checking all her vitals.

The men stupidly waited for Cain to respond, but he didn’t, so Arthur spoke up, “her name is Ember Conrad. Who are you?”

At hearing the name “Conrad”, the man’s eyebrows lifted slightly, but he didn’t turn his attention away from the girl as he responded, “Beau Emerson. Where is she from?”

“Uh… the last place she said she lived was Sunwoods,” Arthur responded, then caught himself and said, “wait a minute, why is that relevant?”

Beau nodded his head of dark hair, “okay, I’m assuming you’ll be honest on the stand if something happens to her. Why not be honest now so I can actually help her? How long was she unconscious for before you called the paramedics?”

Arthur kept his mouth shut.

Beau just let out an annoyed chuckle, and started to report in great detail on the woman’s condition to their dispatcher, “lot of cyanosis, around her mouth, fingers, some on arms.”

“Her pulse is low, and she is in a comatose state. Initial dosage of Narcan deployed. No aide from the men that drugged her, so I can’t give her another dose of Narcan yet.”

“Beau, are you and the guys going to take her to a hospital?” the dispatch radio chirped back, startling the other two medics as their radios began to buzz.

“You can’t do that without my permission! She’s my wife,” Arthur’s protests were loud enough that Beau’s radio picked it up.

Beau shook his head, and started doing chest compressions on the girl, desperately trying to get her heart rate up as he noticed it was decreasing even more, “heart rate falling, doing chest compressions. Would love to take her to the hospital but… you heard.”

The other medics answered their radios to two different screaming dispatchers, both angry about the absence of information from the men, suggesting they were trying to keep something quiet from dispatch or police.

“Why the hell is Beau the only one reporting anything about this woman?” and “Are you two not even asking the witnesses for more information?” were two of the many questions the angry dispatchers were asking.

The world went quiet for Beau as the woman’s eyes fluttered open.

Ember’s green eyes met those of the blue eyed paramedic, and she tried to move off the ground.

Seeing that she was struggling, the paramedic lifted her, and sat her on the couch, kneeling at her feet and looking up at her, “hi, I’m Beau Emerson. These guys called us because you were overdosing on heroin. How do you feel right now?”

Ember looked up at Beau, recognizing him as the hard working paramedic from the fire, but the man was displeased to see how small her pupils were. She muttered with a trembling voice, “heroin…”

Arthur came to her side, pulling Ember into his arms so the girl would be trapped, and he spoke her, “she looks fine again, I think your help is no longer needed.”

“What’s your name, ma’am?” the man’s blue eyes were still watching the woman, especially now that she was under the grasp of Arthur.

“Ember Conrad,” the girl mumbled loud enough for Beau to hear.

“Do you want me to take you to the hospital, Miss Conrad?” the paramedic asked her, trying to make eye contact with her.

“She doesn’t,” Arthur responded quickly, kissing Ember’s head, “She has a lot of medical anxiety and you’re making it worse.”

The girl knew she should stand up for herself, but she feared that the love she had for Arthur was toxic and that neither of them could ever change anything about it.

Ember was caught in the promises he made when they were just naked lovers covered in paint in his studio. Even now, she could see that the world had changed so much, but… she didn’t want to leave yet another man.

“No hospital…” she trailed off, her eyes not even able to really focus.

Beau sighed, and looked around at the men, then turning his attention back to the girl, “absolutely positive, Miss Conrad? Just got to tell me yes, and I’ll take you there.”

Ember appreciated the man’s kindness, but she thought there wasn’t much left to live for these days anyway, “I’m okay, sir… thank you for helping me.”

The man stood up, gathering his things to leave. As he walked out, he told dispatch, “leaving scene. Patient woke up and denied hospital transportation, might have to do with patient’s husband denying it for her first.”

The other two medics left the scene shortly after, bro-hugging Arthur and Cain before they left.

…

When Beau Emerson got off work, he got a call from a number he didn’t recognize. He stared at the screen for a minute before he answered the call, “hello?”

The voice of his older brother came out the other line, “Beau, it’s Lael. Are you still in Carcos?”

“Yup. Hold on,” he started turning his car on, and connected Lael to his speakers. He took his car out of park, driving as he spoke, “what do you need?”

“Beau… Stop treating me like I’m your enemy. What are you doing in Carcos?” Lael’s voice was tired, strained.

Tell me how the fuck you feel, I know you ain’t the type to heal.

“I’m a paramedic. Saving lives. Last call I had lead to me meeting Ember Conrad… from Sunwoods,” Beau’s voice was raised a bit, as he tried preventing memories from coming back, “what the fuck is a Conrad doing out here?”

“Same thing we are: hiding. Just leave her alone, she’s been through a lot,” Lael sounded defensive, less concerned with his brother’s mental state.

The younger brother scoffed, nodding his head as he made a turn, “I figured she was traumatized. She saw me kill Jasper.”

“Are you fucking serious?”

“100%. It was her out there with Jasper the night that I killed him,” Beau answered, tracing his memories back to that night.

He stood in the darkness and he watched Ember come out to check on Jasper, followed by her sweet voice, “please, leave him alone.”

Then Jasper spoke, and Beau felt hatred when he heard the man speak so all he heard was Jasper call him a coward.

That was enough to pull the trigger, over and over into the man.

Even as the poor, gorgeous girl screamed and cried, Beau didn’t stop until the gun’s clip was completely unloaded. He tossed the gun aside and left in the dark, but he never stopped hearing those devastated screams.

In his nightmares, even now, he remembered how she screamed.

“Beau!” Lael’s voice called him out of the immersion, “you need to leave Carcos. If she recognizes you for killing Jasper, I’m positive she’ll call the Feds.”

“Do you know the girl?” Beau asked, his mind beginning to wander again to the sound of her voice begging for Jasper’s life, “I can’t stop thinking about her, Lael.”

“Well, stop. I know that she was pregnant with Jasper’s kid. You made her miscarry. When she finds out you killed him, she’ll think you’re a criminal,” Lael explained in a firm tone.

“Yeah, maybe I’ll head west, then… Get some West Coast waves under my toes,” Beau thought out loud, his mind fixing on the image of Mableshore, a town a few miles south of Laguna Hills.

He knew he’d be happier surfing out there, with their beach being a perfect place for the water sport.

It was quiet and Ember Conrad wasn’t there to tempt him.

omfggg... so maybe might be able to tell by the way I worded the poll that I will stand for no Beau slander in this house.

So, Beau is actually the first character I ever came up with from this story. My poems about this very specific "blue-eyed boy" go back as early as 2015.

This is NOT his formal intro, but I just...

I'm so excited to share him with everyone.

The Oil Has Run Thin

Day 7 of Narcoctober- Make something centered around non-death dark topics (we have a specific death day already). Morally or emotionally dark topics/themes.

Characters: Walt Breslin x OC (Soraya Turner); platonic but could be more 👀

CW: drugs/intoxication/hallucinations

WC: 884

A/N: Something smol for the Walt girlies, y'know?

Was it a knock that had woken her? Or was it the screaming? So loud. Incessant shrieking. Soraya opens her eyes and they bounce around the room, looking for the source of those horrible shrieks.

When her vision focuses, she realizes that she’s in a hospital room. Pain ricochets throughout her head as she thrashes around. Her arms and legs are sore and she finds that she’s restrained when she looks down at herself. There are scratch marks on her hands and clots of dried blood are lodged beneath her fingernails.

There’s no one else in the room with her at the moment, but a flash of movement at the door garners her attention. It’s her partner, Walt. They’ve been partners ever since they were given their assignment in Mexico together. A kinship had arisen between the two of them, and it feels sudden how they’ve gone from complete strangers to people who’d take bullets for each other.

Her mind is rattling around with so many thoughts, so many questions. She’s able to see through the fog for a second and see the crushed look on Walt’s face. Why did he look so broken?

It hurts her. Her heart feels cracked because she’s never seen him so shattered before. They’ve seen a lot of each other. Frustration. Anger. And yes, even sadness. But this is utter misery painted on her partner’s face right now and she can even see the fear that he lets through. Usually, she can tell when he’s scared because he has intricate little tells like a twitching of his fingers or the inability to sit down. But that’s because he hides it and hides it well. To anyone on the outside looking in, he seems impatient and maybe even pissed off, but Soraya’s always been able to differentiate when he’s scared because of how much effort he puts into making it not look like so.

But he’s terrified right now as he looks at her and she doesn’t know why.

She doesn’t know a lot of things. She’s not sure she even knows why she’s in the hospital, much less restrained.

Her whole body’s in pain and she can barely focus, but that’s not giving her any answers right now.

Walt, himself, was still trying to come to terms with what happened. He’d been on coms the entire time during the undercover sting. The work the two of you had put in was mostly paper trails and listening to tapes, but you two were also dedicated to chasing down any and every lead possible. When you get the tip on a new low level runner within the Guadalajara cartel, you take the opportunity to create a sting and get him on charges. The hope was to get him a lighter sentence in exchange for more intel that would help them catch and fry the bigger fish.

It all happened so fast. Too fast for Walt to even realize what was happening. He’s not even sure what happens in the short time it takes for him to realize that he’s lost comms with her. As he waits for news on his partner, he reflects and tries to think back to how he missed it. How her cover was blown. When exactly it was blown. What had happened to her in the time between when her comms went out and when he was picking her up bridal style and rushing for an ambulance.

“The cocaine was laced,” the doctor explains, “We’ve got to run more tests to get a better idea of what exactly is causing her symptoms. Until then, she needs to be in restraints. For her own safety.”

In the ambulance, Soraya had started clawing at her arms, frantically screaming that there was a chip inside and that the mad men were out to get her.”

Her eyes were like pinballs in an arcade game, dotting everywhere with an unfocused gaze. She wasn’t making any sense as Walt held her arms and it was like she wasn’t even aware of her surroundings.

The doctor had gone to go check on Soraya and let Walt know whether he could see her or not. As he waited, he rubbed his forehead continually before wringing his hands and pacing the floors. He was infuriated. At their perp, who was now in the wind. At himself, even more so. His plans were always failure after failure and now they had gotten someone he cared about in a dire situation.

When the doctor gives him the go ahead, Walt knocks on her door, although he’s sure that she probably doesn’t hear it. He walks in and is stuck to his feet at the sight of her.

He did this.

The restraints.

The deep scratches on your arm.

The crazed and scared look on your face.

Your eyes meet him and for a second, Walt thinks she recognizes him.

But then, she’s back to wracking her body and scanning the room, looking for something, even as Walt rushes over, trying to calm her.

Soraya looks at him again, fear and inquiry coloring her features, “What is that?! Who is that screaming?!”

Walt’s breath catches in his throat as he continues stroking her arm in what he hopes is comforting.

“It’s you, Soraya.”

A/N: Def plan on writing more for them at some point, kinduva obsessed with them idk Click here if you wanna be added to my taglist. Taglist: @asirensrage @ashlingnarcos @narcosfandomdiscord @drabbles-mc

Drug and Alcohol Test: What It Is, Purpose, Procedure & Types

Drug and alcohol tests play a critical role in various settings, from employment screenings to legal cases. It is essential for employers and individuals to understand what these tests are, their purpose, the procedures involved, and the different types available. This blog will cover the basics of drug and alcohol testing, shedding light on how it works, what drugs and substances are typically tested for, and what the results mean.

What is a Drug and Alcohol Test?

A Drug and Alcohol Test is a screening method used to detect the presence of drugs and alcohol in a person's body. These tests are typically used to identify recent drug use, intoxication, or substance abuse. They can be conducted in various settings such as workplaces, hospitals, schools, and by legal authorities.

Drug and alcohol tests come in many forms, including urine drug tests, saliva tests, blood tests, breathalyzer tests, and hair follicle tests. Each type of test varies in terms of accuracy, detection period, and the substances it can detect.

The Purpose of Drug and Alcohol Testing

Drug and alcohol testing is conducted for various purposes, depending on the context. Some common reasons include:

Pre-employment screening: Many employers require a drug test before hiring to ensure that potential employees are not using illegal substances. A pre-employment drug test is often a critical part of the hiring process, particularly in industries where safety is a concern, such as construction, transportation, and healthcare.

Workplace safety: Random drug tests help maintain a safe and productive working environment. Employers may require periodic or random drug tests to ensure employees are not using substances that could impair their judgment or performance.

Legal or court-ordered drug tests: In some cases, drug and alcohol tests are mandated by courts, especially in matters related to child custody, probation, or legal disputes. A court-ordered drug test is often required to prove that an individual is abstaining from drugs or alcohol.

Medical diagnostics: Physicians may order drug and alcohol tests to diagnose or monitor patients with substance abuse issues or to ensure that prescribed medications are being used properly.

DOT (Department of Transportation) testing: Federal law requires DOT drug tests for individuals working in safety-sensitive positions in transportation. These tests follow strict guidelines to ensure compliance with regulations.

The Drug and Alcohol Testing Process

The drug and alcohol testing process can vary depending on the test administered. Below is a general breakdown of the purpose, procedure, and types of drug and alcohol tests most commonly used:

Urine Drug Test

A urine drug test is one of the most common testing methods. It is relatively easy to administer, non-invasive and detects a wide range of drugs.

Procedure:

The individual provides a urine sample in a secure facility, often under supervision, to prevent tampering.

The sample is sent to a drug testing lab for analysis.

Lab technicians analyze the urine for traces of specific drugs or their metabolites (byproducts of the body breaking down drugs).

Results are usually available within 24-48 hours.

What does it detect? A 5-panel drug test can screen for commonly abused substances like marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and PCP. Some tests, such as the 10-panel drug test, can detect additional substances like benzodiazepines and barbiturates.

Blood Test for Alcohol

A blood test for alcohol is used to measure the amount of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream. It is often used in legal alcohol testing scenarios, such as for determining the blood alcohol content (BAC) in cases of suspected drunk driving.

Procedure:

A medical professional draws a small sample of blood from the individual.

The blood is analyzed in a lab to determine the alcohol level.

The results can be available within a few hours.

What does it detect? A blood test can accurately measure BAC, making it a reliable method to assess intoxication levels. It is commonly used in legal drug tests for alcohol.

Breathalyzer Test

A breathalyzer test is a portable device used by law enforcement officers to measure alcohol levels in a person's breath. It is non-invasive and provides immediate results.

Procedure:

The individual blows into a mouthpiece connected to the breathalyzer device.

The device analyzes the breath sample for alcohol content.

The results are displayed instantly, showing the person's BAC.

What does it detect? The breathalyzer measures the alcohol concentration in the breath, which is used to estimate the BAC.

Hair Follicle Drug Test

A hair follicle drug test provides a longer detection window than other tests. It can detect drug use for up to 90 days after the substance was consumed.

Procedure:

A small sample of hair, typically from the scalp, is collected.

The hair is analyzed in a lab to detect the presence of drugs.

Results are available within a few days.

What does it detect? This test is capable of detecting a wide range of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, and opiates. It is often used for employment drug testing where long-term drug use is a concern.

Saliva Drug Test

A saliva drug test is a quick and convenient way to detect recent drug use. It is often used in situations where immediate results are needed.

Procedure:

The individual provides a saliva sample by swabbing the inside of the mouth.

The sample is analyzed for drug metabolites.

Results are available within minutes or hours, depending on the test type.

What does it detect? Saliva tests are commonly used to detect marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, and alcohol. They are popular for random drug tests due to their convenience.

Types of Drug and Alcohol Tests

Here's a breakdown of the common types of drug and alcohol tests:

Urine drug test: Common for pre-employment and random drug tests.

Blood test for alcohol: Accurate for determining current intoxication levels.

Breathalyzer test: Fast and widely used by law enforcement.

Hair follicle test: Used to detect long-term drug use.

Saliva test: Convenient for detecting recent use.

How Long Do Drugs Stay in Your System?

The drug detection period varies based on several factors, including the type of drug, the person's metabolism, and the type of test being used. For example:

Marijuana can be detected in urine for up to 30 days, depending on the frequency of use.

Cocaine may be detected for 2-4 days.

Opiates like heroin can be detected for up to 3 days.

In hair follicle tests, drugs can be detected for up to 90 days.

National Diagnostics lab offers a comprehensive range of drug and alcohol testing services designed to meet individual and corporate needs. Whether you're looking for a pre-employment drug test or need help with court-ordered drug testing, our lab provides fast, accurate, and confidential testing solutions.

Understanding the Results

The results of a drug and alcohol test can come back as either:

Negative: No drugs or alcohol were detected, or the levels were below the test's threshold.

Positive: Drugs or alcohol were detected, often requiring further testing to confirm.

Inconclusive: The test could not definitively confirm whether drugs or alcohol were present, possibly due to sample contamination or other issues.

Conclusion

Drug and alcohol tests ensure safety, compliance, and health across multiple industries and legal situations. By understanding the purpose, procedure & types of drug and alcohol tests, individuals and employers can make informed decisions regarding testing for substance use.

Know About FMCSA New Entrant Safety Audit

A New Entrant Safety Audit is a requirement for new motor carriers operating in the U.S. It is part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)'s New Entrant Safety Assurance Program. This audit ensures that the carrier is following safety standards and regulations related to the operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Here's an overview:

1. Who is it for?

New motor carriers (both interstate and intrastate) applying for a U.S. DOT number are required to undergo the audit within their first 12 months of operation.

It applies to passenger carriers, hazardous material carriers, and general freight carriers.

2. What is the process?

After applying for a U.S. DOT number, the carrier is placed in a New Entrant Program, and within 12 months, they will undergo a Safety Audit.

Carriers operating passenger transport or hazardous materials need to complete the audit in 120 days.

3. What does the audit check?

The audit evaluates the carrier’s compliance with key FMCSA regulations, including:

Driver qualifications (medical exams, commercial driver’s license, etc.)

Hours of service (driver logs, adherence to work/rest time rules)

Drug and alcohol testing (for drivers)

Vehicle maintenance (inspection, repair, and maintenance records)

Accident register and records

Insurance coverage

4. Types of Audit

Off-site audit: Carriers with smaller operations or low safety risks may be eligible to submit documents electronically.

On-site audit: Conducted at the carrier’s place of business for those who require closer scrutiny or cannot complete the audit off-site.

5. Consequences of Failing the Audit

If the audit reveals non-compliance, the carrier will receive a corrective action plan (CAP).

Carriers who fail to correct the issues may be placed out of service and have their DOT number revoked.

6. Passing the Audit

Successfully passing the audit moves the carrier into permanent status, though they will still be subject to regular FMCSA oversight.

Would you like more specific details on how to prepare for the audit or the documents needed? Here get more information about New Entrant Safety Audit.

Why Is Employment Drug Screening Necessary?

Employment drug screening has become a standard practice in many industries worldwide. While some may view it as an invasion of privacy, employers and organizations recognize its crucial role in maintaining a safe, productive, and legally compliant workplace. This article explores the multifaceted reasons why employment drug screening is necessary and its benefits to both employers and employees.

Ensuring Workplace Safety

One of the primary reasons for employment drug screening is to ensure workplace safety. Employees under the influence of drugs or alcohol can pose significant risks to themselves and their coworkers, particularly in industries where safety is paramount, such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. Drug impairment can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. By implementing drug screening, employers can minimize these risks and create a safer working environment.

Enhancing Productivity and Efficiency

Substance abuse can severely impact an employee’s productivity and overall job performance. Issues such as absenteeism, tardiness, decreased focus, and impaired judgment are common among individuals who abuse drugs or alcohol. Employment drug screening helps identify these issues early, allowing employers to address them before they negatively affect the workplace. This proactive approach can lead to improved productivity and efficiency, benefiting both the organization and its workforce.

Reducing Healthcare and Insurance Costs

Employees who abuse drugs are more likely to require medical treatment and use more healthcare resources than their non-using counterparts. This can lead to increased healthcare costs for employers, including higher premiums for health insurance. Additionally, workplace accidents resulting from drug use can result in costly workers’ compensation claims. By implementing drug screening, employers can reduce the incidence of drug-related health issues and workplace accidents, ultimately lowering healthcare and insurance costs.

Complying with Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Certain industries are mandated by federal or state laws to conduct drug screening. For example, the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires drug and alcohol testing for safety-sensitive transportation employees, including truck drivers, pilots, and railroad workers. Non-compliance with these regulations can result in severe penalties, including fines and loss of operating licenses. By adhering to these legal requirements through regular drug screening, employers can avoid legal repercussions and maintain their operational status.

Promoting a Drug-Free Workplace Culture

Implementing a drug screening program sends a clear message that the organization is committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace. This can deter current employees from engaging in substance abuse and discourage potential hires with drug problems from seeking employment with the company. A drug-free workplace culture fosters a healthier, more focused, and motivated workforce, contributing to the organization’s overall success.

Protecting the Organization’s Reputation

An organization’s reputation can be significantly affected by the behavior of its employees. Incidents involving drug abuse can tarnish a company’s image, leading to loss of business, trust, and credibility. Regular drug screening helps mitigate this risk by ensuring that employees are not under the influence of substances that could lead to negative incidents. A drug-free workplace can enhance the organization’s reputation and build confidence among clients, customers, and stakeholders.

Identifying and Assisting Employees in Need

Employment drug screening is not solely about punitive measures. It can also serve as a means to identify employees who may be struggling with substance abuse issues and provide them with the necessary support and resources. Many organizations offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that provide counseling, rehabilitation, and other support services. By identifying employees in need, employers can help them overcome their issues and return to being productive members of the workforce.

Conclusion

Employment drug screening is a necessary practice that serves multiple purposes, from ensuring workplace safety and enhancing productivity to complying with legal requirements and protecting the organization’s reputation. While it may be seen as intrusive by some, the benefits of a drug-free workplace far outweigh the potential drawbacks. By implementing and maintaining a robust drug screening program, employers can create a safer, healthier, and more productive work environment for all.

Navigating the Essentials: Understanding DOT Drug Testing and Compliance

In the realm of workplace safety and regulatory compliance, DOT drug testing stands as a crucial component for certain industries. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has implemented stringent guidelines to ensure that employees in safety-sensitive positions maintain a drug-free workplace. This article aims to shed light on the key aspects of DOT drug testing, its significance, and the steps employers and employees need to take to remain in compliance.

Understanding DOT Drug Testing DOT drug testing is a comprehensive program designed to detect and deter drug use among employees in safety-sensitive positions. These positions include roles within the transportation industry, such as commercial truck drivers, bus drivers, pilots, and railway workers. The primary objective of DOT drug testing is to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals responsible for transportation-related activities are not under the influence of drugs that could impair their performance.

DOT Mandates and Regulations To uphold a uniform standard across different modes of transportation, the DOT has established specific regulations outlining the requirements for drug testing. Employers subject to DOT regulations are obligated to implement a comprehensive drug testing program that adheres to these guidelines. The testing process typically involves pre-employment testing, random testing, post-accident testing, reasonable suspicion testing, and return-to-duty testing.

Substances Covered by DOT Drug Testing DOT drug testing screens for a panel of substances that includes marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP). The testing methods employed are designed to detect recent drug use, ensuring that individuals are not impaired while performing safety-sensitive tasks.

Consequences of Non-Compliance Non-compliance with DOT drug testing regulations can have severe consequences for both employers and employees. Employers failing to implement an effective drug testing program may face fines, penalties, and even suspension of their operating authority. Employees who test positive may be subject to immediate removal from safety-sensitive duties and are required to undergo a substance abuse assessment and rehabilitation before returning to work.

Navigating the DOT Drug Testing Process For employers and employees subject to DOT regulations, understanding and navigating the drug testing process is essential. This involves staying informed about the latest updates to DOT regulations, implementing a robust drug testing program, educating employees about the consequences of drug use, and ensuring a fair and consistent approach to testing.

Starting a Trucking Business: Costs and Essentials

The trucking industry plays a vital role in the American economy, accounting for 6% of all full-time jobs in the country. In 2017, the American trucking industry generated revenue that surpassed that of 150 countries. If you're considering embarking on this entrepreneurial journey, here's a breakdown of the costs involved in starting a trucking business in the USA, with a focus on the ELD mandate, Tail light, and ELD mandate dashcam.

Registration

Cost: Up to $1,590 (one-time) The first step in establishing a trucking business is to incorporate a company and obtain the necessary permits to legally transport goods within the country. Registration starts at the state level, and it's crucial to check name availability with the Department of State. Once the name is approved, you can officially register your company. TAX ID Number

Cost: $79 (one-time) A TAX ID number is essential for opening a business bank account and fulfilling tax obligations. It's essentially your company's registration at the federal level, and even non-U.S. residents can apply for it online. MC Number and DOT Number

Cost: Variable After completing registrations and acquiring permits, the next step is to purchase trucks and trailers. Whether you opt for new or used vehicles, costs can vary widely. New trucks can start at around $113,000, while used ones are more affordable. However, when buying used trucks, it's advisable to choose those less than five years old with fewer than 600,000 miles. Heavy Vehicle Use Tax

Cost: $100 - $550 (per year) Trucks weighing over 55,000 pounds are subject to this tax, and trucking companies must file an annual Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return and pay the applicable tax for their fleet. Insurance

Cost: $9,000 - $12,000 (per year) Insurance is a crucial expense and should cover three key areas: Physical damage: Coverage matching the truck's value. Cargo: Recommended coverage of $10,000 or more, depending on the cargo's value. Liability: Covers damage to third parties. Combined insurance for these aspects typically costs between $9,000 and $12,000 per truck per year. IRP Plates Registration and IFTA

Cost: $1,500 - $2,000 (per year) IRP plates are required for interstate operation, listing all 48 states in the continental U.S. IFTA decals are included, renewed yearly as long as fuel taxes are paid. ELD, Tail Light, and Dash Cams Cost: Around $950 (per year) These technological requirements are essential for a trucking business. The ELD (Electronic Logging Device) is mandatory for compliance with regulations, aiding in tracking driver hours and identifying violations. Tail Light provides tracking for your trailers, and dash cams help maintain a video record for potential insurance cost reductions. ELDs cost around $350 per year, Tail Light has an annual cost of $250, and Dash Cams add another $350 per year. Hiring Drivers

Cost: Average of $59,925 Hiring experienced drivers is vital for the success and growth of your trucking business. A CDL-licensed driver with the necessary technical knowledge is a valuable asset, earning an average annual salary of $59,925. However, payments vary based on factors like trip distance, frequency, and haul type. Thoroughly check the driver's background, including Compliance Safety Accountability records and conduct random drug tests as required by law. Running the Business Running a trucking company involves both fixed and variable expenses. Fixed expenses, such as insurance and permits, have been covered. Variable costs can fluctuate based on your business's output and operations. Some examples include:

Fuel: Costs vary depending on mileage and fuel efficiency. Factoring Fees: Around 3% commission for getting paid more quickly. Tolls: Variable costs based on travel routes. Scales: Used to bypass weigh stations. Permits: Additional permits for specific states. Dispatch Fees: Flat rates per load. Hotels: Accommodation for drivers on long hauls. Maintenance and Repairs: Keep the vehicle in good condition, with an average annual cost of around $16,000. Summary In summary, the cost of starting an owner-operator trucking company in the United States typically ranges between $100,000 to $200,000. For larger fleets with additional drivers, expenses increase proportionally at an average of $59,925 per driver. Keep in mind that the nature of your business, location, distance, and operational area can significantly impact these costs. To mitigate unexpected expenses, maintaining a financial reserve is essential. Starting and running a trucking business is a significant endeavor, and careful planning and financial management are key to success. Keep on trucking!
