subject: Brain Cells And Adapting To Childhood Environments [print this page] Drug addicts and alcoholics have actually adapted to their environment, the one within and without their brains, and they find themselves naturally drawn to dependencies and co-dependencies like drugs and alcohol. This is actually something which occurs on the level of the neurons within your brain.
As children age, they adapt to their environment, one in which they must survive and be provided for, and therefore their brain chemistry alters to provide them with suitable internal knowledge to and adaptations for their environments. When a child grows up in a poverty stricken area, with poor parents, with among abusive behavior, their brains chemically alter and their brain neurons actually adapt to fit that environment, in order to offer them the best possible chance of success. These brain patterns are successful in creating short term adaptations, but as time passes, these adaptations become long term, bordering on permanent, and the adult has a chemically altered brain chemistry that is very different from their coworkers. They literally think differently because of their early and continued need for neural adaptation.
Workplace drug testing keeps these adaptations and almost permanent holdings in the brains of your employees from taking over and affecting the behavior of other employees. Employee drug and alcohol screening creates an environment of structure and high employer expectations, which in turn modifies employees thinking into productive channels. It helps companies to maintain a minimum standard of conduct, but more than that, it helps companies to become a better team in the office. Over time, a proper workplace environment can modify the mentality or the brain neurons in your employees, which can in turn become helpful in behavior modification or even something as simple as enjoying working or taking pride in a particularly skilled job or task. Drug testing equipment must be had for onsite drug and alcohol screening, such as the onsite drug testing that Mediscreen provides to companies all over Australia. Our friendly, trained staff is sitting by to take your calls and answer your questions. We may not be able to change the world one movement at a time, but we sure are about to change it one brain cell at a time.
