Like many families, our family has felt the effects of addiction. I have witnessed the damage that drug and alcohol abuse can cause, and I wanted to do something to help others avoid going through what we experienced.

In those times, had I been aware of the signs and symptoms of addiction, lives could have been saved and earlier treatment sought for those suffering. Addiction can be overcome and I am witness to this as well. Drug testing is the first line of defense and prevention for drug abuse, and timely testing can prevent a lot of heartache.

I founded The Genesis Shop to educate employers and families about the critical lifeline that we can offer abusers through testing, support, and treatment. We want families and parents to become better educated and aware of the dangerous substances we are all exposed to every day in the workplace and on playgrounds.

Awareness is prevention. I believe what Ben Franklin once said: "An ounce of preventions is worth a pound of cure."

Let us help you today secure your workplace and fight drug and alcohol abuse.
