AI Overview
Overview of Local Drug Testing
Drug testing is a common procedure used in various contexts, including employment, sports, and law enforcement, to detect the presence of controlled substances in an individual's system. Local drug testing refers to drug tests administered within a specific locality or community, often facilitated by local healthcare providers, testing facilities, or through workplace initiatives. This overview provides consumers with key information about the purposes, methods, and implications of local drug testing.
Purposes of Drug Testing
Drug testing serves several purposes:
- Employment: Employers may require drug testing to ensure a safe and productive work environment, often as a part of pre-employment screening or randomly throughout employment.
- Sports: Athletes are regularly tested to maintain fair competition and deter the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
- Legal and Forensic: Drug testing can be ordered by courts in cases of drug-related offenses or in custody disputes.
- Medical Reasons: Healthcare providers may perform drug tests to diagnose substance abuse disorders or monitor treatment efficacy.
Common Drug Testing Methods
Several methods are used for drug testing, each with its own specific applications and detection windows:
- Urine Testing: The most common method due to its non-invasiveness and ability to detect a wide range of substances within hours to a few weeks after use.
- Blood Testing: Provides a more accurate measurement of active substances in the body but is more invasive and used less frequently.
- Saliva Testing: Gaining popularity for its non-invasive nature and ability to detect recent drug use.
- Hair Follicle Testing: Can detect drug use over a longer period, typically up to 90 days, making it useful for detailed monitoring.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Drug testing is governed by various legal and ethical guidelines that protect individuals' rights:
- Consent: In most cases, individuals must provide informed consent before undergoing drug testing.
- Privacy: Results from drug tests are considered private health information and must be handled according to privacy laws.
- Accuracy: Testing facilities must adhere to strict standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.
In conclusion, local drug testing is a vital tool used across various fields to promote safety, fairness, and health. Consumers are advised to understand the reasons for testing, the methods used, and their legal rights regarding the testing process.

About Kelso
Local Area Info: Arkansas Highway 138
Highway 138 begins at US 278 in Monticello. The highway runs northeast past Ellis Field to intersect Highway 293 in rural Drew County. North of this junction, Highway 138 passes two cemeteries, including the nearby Taylor Log House and Site. Highway 138 continues northeast through farmland to enter Winchester in the northeast corner of the county. Just east of Winchester, Highway 138 intersects US 65/US 165, a divided highway at an at-grade intersection. The route next enters Desha County, serving as the southern terminus of Highway 159. Highway 159 is a minor route within the county, serving only county roads from this point eastward. The highway meets Highway 1 at Kelso, where it terminates. The road is a two-lane, undivided, rural route for its entire length.
The route became a state highway in 1930, running 9.9 miles (15.9 km) from Highway 4 south to McGehee, with Highway 4 running east to Tillar. Prior to 1940, Highway 4 was rerouted onto the former Highway 138, with the former routing to Tillar becoming Highway 138. This change is still apparent on the highway map, as Highway 4 was later replaced by US 278, which creates today's "kink" in US 278 in east Drew County. The routing of today's Highway 138 appears on the state highway maps beginning in the mid–1950s, but is not numbered. Around 1960, a segment from Winchester to Kelso becomes Highway 138, in addition to a segment from Tillar north to Winchester. The Kelso segment was redesignated Arkansas Highway 277 in the mid-1960s, which enabled a contemporaneous extension of Highway 138 from Winchester west to the current Highway 293. By 1966, the route was extended to Monticello. The road was paved from Monticello north in 1967, as the segment between US 65/US 165 and Kelso was paved upon its earlier designation.
Kelso Employee Drug Testing
Businesses that utilize an employee drug testing program are commonly referred to as a Drug Free Workplace. However, many times companies do not fully qualify as a Drug Free Workplace because the drug testing program which they use does not have all of the components which make up a true Drug Free Workplace.
The benefits of being a true Drug Free Workplace can include but are not limited to:
- Enhanced Employee Performance
- Reduced Job-Related Accidents
- Reduced Employee Absenteeism
- Lower Workers Compensation Rates
- Improved Employee Moral
- Customer Satisfaction
In addition, many companies regardless of size report that being a Drug Free Workplace has increased the quality of job applicants and improved the overall workplace environment.
Also many states such as Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, Washington provide by law a discount on workers compensation insurance rates provided a business qualifies as a Drug Free Workplace in accordance with state law.

Any company can benefit by being a Drug Free Workplace regardless of the number of employees, but it is crucially important that any business that wishes to be a Drug Free Workplace maintain the program properly.
