Featured presentations relevant to drug and alcohol addiction include:
NEW TEST IDENTIFIES HEAVY DRINKERS
A new screening test for excessive alcohol consumption identifies twice as many heavy drinkers as the commonly used liver enzyme test. The Early Detection of Alcohol Consumption (EDAC) test determines the likelihood of heavy drinking in the previous four to six weeks.
Lead Presenter: James Harasymiw, PsyD, director, Alcohol Detection Services, Big Bend, WI.
Wednesday, July 30, 2:30-5:00 PM
CHEATING ON DRUG TESTS IS A CLICK AWAY
An explosion of websites offering additives, detoxification solutions and bottled urine is leading more people to try and cheat on drug tests. While common household chemicals like laundry bleach and toilet bowl cleaner have been used for years to attempt to avoid a positive drug test, people are now purchasing such sophisticated products as "Ready Clean Drug Detox Drink," "Fast Flush Capsules" and synthetic urine in bottles from more than 1000 Web sites.
Lead Presenter: Amitava Dasgupta, PhD, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at University of Texas-Houston Medical School.
Monday, July 28, 7:30-8:30 AM and 12:30-1:30 PM
