4 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING
5 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Trends in Drug Use About 22.6 million Americans or 8.9% of the population are current users of illicit drugs, meaning they use at least once per month: 13.3 million employed Americans 4.2 million dependent on illicit drugs 15 million dependent on alcohol Total economic cost = $193 billion
6 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Trends in Drug Use Treatment admissions for opiates other than heroin rose from 19,870 in 1998 to 111,251 in 2008, over a 450-percent increase.
7 80% of the world's supply of opioid analgesics are consumed in the U.S, but we only have 5% of the world's population
8 California - Oxy abusers turning to heroin in San Diego County
9 Naloxone (Narcan) Nasal Spray is a response to opioid overdose epidemic to avoid needle sticks and contracting diseases like Hepatitis and HIV
10 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Who s using drug testing? Workplaces with safety-sensitive environments DOT vs. non-dot Manufacturing Construction Energy (oil, gas, utilities) Retail Gaming Security Government Healthcare Schools Corrections: Probation/Parole Corporations Wal-Mart 1.2 million McDonalds 364,000 GM 363,000 UPS 359,000 Ford 346,000 Sears 323,000 IBM 320,000 GE 313,000 Kroger 312,000 JC Penny/Eck. 265,000

13 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Types of Testing: Screening and Confirmation A screening test is an initial test for drugs. It can be an onsite test like DrugCheck or a test that is done on a chemistry analyzer. It is usually non-quantitative. A confirmation test is often more sensitive and more specific (selective) that a screening test and is usually quantitative. An example of a confirmation assay is gas chromatography/masspectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) Positive screening tests should be confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS.
14 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Types of Testing Type Pros Cons Window of Detection Urine Most reliable results Least expensive Most flexibility in testing different drugs, alcohol & nicotine Most likely of all methods to withstand legal challenge Hair Longer window of detection Greater specimen stability Can measure chronic use Easy to ship and store More difficult to adulterate than urine Specimen can be adulterated, substituted or diluted Limited window of detection Most expensive Test usually limited to basic 5 drugs Cannot detect alcohol use Will no detect recent drug use. (1 to 7 days prior to test) Typically 1 to 5 days, THC may be longer Depends on length of hair. Hair growth = half an inch per month Specimen shows 3 month history Oral Fluids Sample obtained under direct observation Minimal risk of tampering and collected in any environment Can detect alcohol use Reflects recent drug use Less efficient in detecting THC Sample dries out, multiple sample testing not practical More expensive than urine testing Drugs and metabolites do not remain in oral fluids as long as in urine Approx. 10 to 24 hours
15 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING Detection Times and Cutoff Levels SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Cutoffs The Cutoff Level is the concentration level established as a breakpoint or threshold for labeling a result Positive or Negative (e.g. 50 ng/ml THC or 300 ng/ml Cocaine) The concentration of a drug is expressed in nanograms (ng) per milliliters (ml), or ng/ml. One nanogram is equal to one billionth of a gram and 1 ml is equal to about 1/30 of a fluid ounce.

19 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING False Positives POPPY SEED BAGELS Avg. bagel has 5 grams of poppy seeds yielding about 600 to 700 ng/ml of morphine concentration 24 hours after ingestion. New cutoff level is 2,000 not 300. PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS, like protonix, Prilosec, Prevacid, and Nexium, that treat GERD, may cause false positives with THC. SUSTIVA, ATRIPLA (efavirenz) HIV antiviral causes false positive with THC. Over $282 million sold in New DrugCheck THC does not cross-react. EFFEXOR may cause a false positive with PCP. Over $2 billion sold in ZOLOFT (sertraline) may cause a false positive for BZD. Over $2.5 billion sold in PHENTERMINE (Pro-Fast, Teramine) may cause a positive result with Amphetamine. DAYPRO (Oxaprozin) a popular medication for arthritis may cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines. ADDERALL a treatment for ADHD, may cause a positive for amphetamines.
20 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING False Positives Stribild medication for HIV-1 (cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir) false positive for THC and PCP Naltrexone (Vivtrol) used in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence False positive for oxycodone. Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist. Naloxone is used to counter the effects of opioid overdose. Also Naloxone is added to Suboxone in an effort to dissuade patients from injecting the tablets. False positive for oxycodone Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) muscle relaxant, may cause false positive with methadone
21 DRUGS OF ABUSE AND TESTING False Positives Tramadol (Ultram) may give a false positive for burenorphine especially if the dose is increased. Tramadol works in a similar way as many antidepressant medications in that it increases the levels of serotonin in your brain. Many clients on suboxone will take tramadol to get an increase in the euphoric effect. Egyptians are using the pill as a recreational drug and also, reportedly, as an aphrodisiac. But most commonly, it serves as a cheap energy boost about $3 for a sheet of ten pills. Zolpidem (Ambien) can give a false positive for benzodiazepine. Zolpidem Benzodiazepine

35 Fentanyl Killer Heroin Causing Fatal Overdoses in East As the number of people who use, and fatally overdose on, heroin has skyrocketed in recent years, authorities are seeing the return of an alarming development: heroin that, often unbeknownst to the user, is spiked with fentanyl. Md. Has 37 Deaths From Heroin, Fentanyl Overdoses BALTIMORE Maryland s medical examiner says there have been at least 37 deaths since September in the state from a batch of heroin that is tainted with fentanyl.
36 Fentanyl Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opiate analgesic. It is typically used to treat patients with severe pain, or to manage pain after surgery. It is also sometimes used to treat people with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to opiates. It is a schedule II prescription drug Names In its prescription form, fentanyl is known as Actiq, Duragesic, and Sublimaze. Street names for the drug include Apache, China girl, China white, dance fever, friend, goodfella, jackpot, murder 8, TNT, as well as Tango and Cash.
37 Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine. 100 micrograms of Fentanyl approximately equivalent to 10 mg of morphine. 1mg = 1000 micrograms (ug) Some heroin dealers mix fentanyl powder with heroin in order to increase potency or compensate for low-quality heroin. The mixture of fentanyl and heroin is known as "magic" or "the bomb", among other names, on the street

50 DrugCheck Urine Tests DrugCheck NxScan Procedure: Specimen Collection NOTE: Urine Specimens can be transferred from a urine collection container into the DrugCheck Test Cup, if necessary 1. Have available for use a Chain of Custody form (COC) or Test Results Record template. 2. Require the donor to present a photo identification.\ 3. Ask donor to remove any unnecessary outer clothing and empty all pockets. 4. Keep all backpacks and purses out on the restroom. Insure that all backpacks, wallets and purses are secured, preferably in a locked cabinet. If using a lockable cabinet of container, make sure that the donor is given the key. 5. Secure the collection site (restroom). Turn off water sources (sink faucets), ensure blue toilet water, inspect site for and remove cleaners and other substances, secure toilet tank top or blue tank water. 6. Visually inspect foil package containing the cup to ensure that the package has not been compromised. Tear open the foil pouch and remove the test cup. 7. Issue the device to the individual to be tested. Instruct the donor not to flush the toilet or turn the water on and to open the door when they are done. 8. Have the individual urinate directly into the DrugCheck Test Cup. Ensure that the specimen is above the minimum level (30 ml) line on the test label.

58 DrugCheck Saliva Tests
59 DrugCheck Saliva Tests SalivaScan Testing Procedure 1 Remove device from foil pouch Remove collection swab from plastic pouch
60 DrugCheck Saliva Tests Procedure: Specimen Collection 2 IMPORTANT: DONORS SHOULD NOT PLACE ANYTHING (INCLUDING FOOD, DRINK, GUM, OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS) IN THEIR MOUTH FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. DO NOT BITE, SUCH, OR CHEW ON THE SPONGE. REFRAIN FROM TALKING WHILE COLLECTION SWAB IS IN THE MOUTH.
61 DrugCheck Saliva Tests Procedure: Specimen Collection 2 Sponge Saturation Indicator Donor may remove swab from mouth when color appears in the indicator window The purpose of Step 2 is to saturate the sponge with saliva. With collection swab, have donor sweep the inside of mouth (cheek, gums, tongue) several times, then hold swab in closed mouth until color on the saturation indicator strip appears in the indicator window of the collection swab. Donor must leave swab in mouth until instructed to remove it. Note: If at 7 minutes, color on saturation indicator has not appeared in indicator window, proceed with test.
62 DrugCheck Saliva Tests Procedure: Assay 3 Remove collection swab (B) from mouth and insert the sponge first into the screening device (A), pushing until the locking flange locks in place in the bottom of the device. NOTE: Once the collection swab locks in place, the device is airtight, tamper evident, and ready to dispose of or send to lab for confirmation (on presumptive positive result).
63 DrugCheck Saliva Tests Procedure: Assay 3 Ensure that specimen is contacting all test strips. If not, rotate the device side to side / front to back to disperse the specimen within the chamber. With specimen dispersed, set device upright on flat surface and keep upright while test is running.
64 DrugCheck Saliva Tests Procedure: Read Results 4 Read negative results as soon as two lines appear on any test strip, often within 2 minutes. Any indication of a line in the test region (T) should be considered a line, and therefore a negative result. Read presumptive positive results within 10 minutes. If the device includes alcohol, read the alcohol strip at 2 minutes.
