Drugs are chemical
substances, which are generally used in the diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention of diseases. Drugs when used as medicines have positive effects on
patients; however, some people use drugs for non-medical purposes, which leads
to serious health problems. Drug abuse testing is a technical analysis of
biological specimen to determine the drugs or combination of drugs consumed by
a person. The biological specimens used for the test are saliva, urine, blood,
hair, breath, and sweat. The two main technologies used to test drug abuse are
immunoassay and chromatography. Drug abuse testing is widely used in
diagnostics, criminal cases, and to screen sports athletes.
