			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">These days, the drug abuse has  become a common problem in every organization.  By the presence of the drug abusers, the environment will spoil and health of the abuser will spoil. While talking about the drug abuse at the work places, the work gets affected. So, the employers of the organizations are using drug testing for creating healthier and safer work environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Out of the different types of drug testing which are used at different places, the employers or the organizations or the corporate officials are opting the saliva drug testing. According to the US companies, the test should follow some of the considerations like complexity, time and cost, privacy, sample adulteration etc., All these are found in saliva drug testing. So, saliva drug testing has become the efficient solution for corporate drug testing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The main factor which one has to consider while conducting the drug test at work place is the privacy of the candidate. Most of the organizations feel that the collection of the sample of saliva is less embarrassing. Definitely, anyone will accept this test socially. Unlike, urine test this will not be degrading. Even this test has the advantage that no separate room is needed for conducting the test. Thus, privacy is not needed. One can term the saliva drug test as the donor friendly test as the test sample can be easily collected.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cost of the saliva drug test is less when compared to blood and hair test. Although, the  cost is not less than the urine drug testing, the factors of no adulteration in the test makes it mostly preferred. Convenience of conducting test also makes it easy for the corporates. Also for random drug testing, this is preferred.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Urine test and Saliva test are conducted to know the presence of drug substances in body. These two tests have their own advantages and disadvantages.  Collection of sample is main difference among various drug tests.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Collection of sample:</strong><br />
The main advantage of saliva-Drug test is least invasiveness in terms of privacy while collecting sample and when compared to other drug tests.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Chances of adulteration:</strong><br />
There are less chances to adulterate in saliva-Drug test when compared to urine drug test. It is possible to collect the sample under supervision, in <a href="http://www.drugalcoholtest.com/Oral-Drug-Tests-p-1-c-254.html">saliva drug test</a>. So in this way, chances can be minimized for tampering the sample and this is may not possible in urine drug test. Anyway, it cannot be said that saliva  drug test is not completely free from adulteration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Detection Period:</strong><br />
In saliva-Drug test, the detection period of drug abuse is shorter when compared to urine drug test. Detection period is approximately 20 hours to 1 day in saliva-Drug test and it can be around 3 days in urine drug test.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results&#8217; accuracy:</strong><br />
Urine drug test results&#8217;  accuracy rate is higher than saliva-Drug test result accuracy.  However, in both tests, the risk of adulteration is high.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Drug test&#8217;s cost:</strong><br />
When you compare two drug tests then the cost of urine drug test is lower than saliva-Drug test. But, saliva-Drug test&#8217;s cost is slightly higher than urine drug test.  According to quality, the cost of saliva drug test varies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are some advantages and disadvantages of both the tests. So, according to the situation, you can choose the drug test which is suitable for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The effect-of-Cocaine use on the brain has been studied by scientists, mainly to find out the secret   that why cocaine is addictive and if once started why is it too difficult to stop taking it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are centres which support the feelings of pleasure and euphoria in deep in the brain, these are called as reward centres. This reward centre is associated by the release of a chemical is called as dopamine. Feelings of euphoria and pleasure is allowed by Dopamine. Generally reward centre releases the dopamine in to small gaps between the neurons in the brain. Gaps are binded with proteins by it and appropriate signals are sent to the brain. The gap is left eventually by the dopamine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This process is disturbed by cocaine substance abuse. The dopamine is blocked by the cocaine from leaving the gaps between the neurons of brain. At initial people get pleasure by use cocaine and to get same effect they required more and more cocaine.  Finally the brain becomes weak.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Marijuana is a product of hemp plant. Marijuana is being abused by many people with out having awareness about it&#8217;s negative effects on the body and brain. It is better to avoid taking marijuana as it has many adverse effects on human beings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some people have the question about marijuana for some reasons, regarding how long does it stay in body system. Marijuana has one chemical that is THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). Effects of marijuana depends on the user and detection time. And this detection time is depend on the strength or potency of the THC chemical.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no simple answer for this question. After taking or smoking marijuana, THC can stay in the body of the person for 3 to 90 days. It differs from one person to another it actually is dependent on many factors like health, body weight, analytical method used, metabolism of the body system, a type of drug toxin intake, fluid intake, and the amount of drug.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to speed of a person&#8217;s metabolism as well as the half life of the THC, the speed, at which marijuana leaves the body, varies. It is very difficult to calculate the time for how long it will take to leave your body, because it is difficult to find out the half life of THC.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.drugalcoholtest.com">Marijuana drug test</a> kits can be a good choice to check the levels of the drug in the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As there are so many products available for <a href="http://www.drugteststrips.com/Marijuana-THC-Test-Card-c-258-pr-16140.html">marijuana drug test</a>, it is important to buy effective and appropriate one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Drug Addiction treatment is aimed to stimulate addicted individuals to terminate uncontrollable drug pursuing and use. For many people, treatment is a long-term process which includes many interventions and consistent monitoring.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The main principles of effective treatment are:</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Addiction is a complicated but treatable disease that affects activities of brain and behavior.</li>
<li> Single treatment is not suitable for every person.</li>
<li> Treatment should be made quickly available.</li>
<li> Effective treatment takes care of various needs of the individual and not confined to his or her drug abuse.</li>
<li> Staying in treatment for sufficient period of time is very essential.</li>
<li> Counseling a person or group and other behavioral therapies are the most regularly used methods of drug abuse treatment.</li>
<li> Medications are an essential component of treatment for most of the patients, particularly when associated with counseling and other behavioral therapies.</li>
<li> An individual&#8217;s treatment and services plan should be evaluated continuously and changed accordingly to make sure that it fulfills his or her changing needs.</li>
<li> Most of the drug-addicted people will also suffer from other mental disorders.</li>
<li> Medically aided detoxification is just the initial stage of addiction treatment and has impact to change long-term drug abuse.</li>
<li> Drug use at the time of treatment should be supervised continuously, as lapses can occur at the time of treatment.</li>
<li> Treatment programs must determine patients for the existence of HIV/ AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases and also provide intended risk-reduction counseling to avoid risk of spreading infectious diseases.</li>
<li> Treatment may not be voluntary in order to be effective.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">To assure health of pregnant woman and that of baby, a health practitioner must be consulted before initiating a prenatal yoga program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Following precautions must be considered before starting a routine: </strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>If taking a class, tell instructor about pregnancy. This helps instructor to alter particular poses, which will suit you. It is better to join a prenatal yoga class (exclusively for pregnant ladies). Today there are many studios and instructors to teach them.</li>
<li>If      you’ve already been practicing yoga for some time, remember that you      should not perform few exercises (asanas) of your normal routine as      pregnancy progresses.</li>
<li>Some specific poses are not suggested for pregnant women, particularly poses involving abdominal twists, inversion poses, and deep bends. Moreover the corpse pose must be avoided after the first trimester. Talk to the instructor for directing about what poses are safe to perform in each stage of the pregnancy.</li>
<li>Power yoga and Bikram or hot yoga are also not recommended yoga practices at the time of pregnancy. The increased heat and strain of these practices increases mother’s internal temperature to a point, which might be harmful to the baby. These yoga practices can be done after the baby is born in order to boost energy and remove weight acquired during pregnancy.</li>
