Lindsay Lohan Violates DUI Probation - Heading to Jail

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was recently sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating the probation of her 2007 DUI conviction. Lohan's violation stemmed from her failing to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes. Lohan will also have to go through 90 days in-patient rehabilitation. In an earlier blog, Pittsburgh Drug Testing firm Mobile Medical Corporaton (MMC) reported on Lohan's earlier run in with the law stemming from her alcohol abuse. In May, Lohan was issued a SCRAM bracelet which measures blood alcohol content (BAC) and if a person has used alcohol it relays that signal to the monitoring company. She also was ordered to participate in Random Drug Testing. Judge Marsha Revel said, "She knew the prosecutor would be asking for jail time and yet still after all that, she didn't comply with the court order and the court does find her in violation of her probation."

New Oxycodone Formula Gets Backing of FDA

The FDA recently voted in favor of pushing a new formulation of oxycodone hydrochloride for approval. The new OxyContin formula is more difficult to crush or dissolve which will hopefully make it harder to be used as a drug of abuse . The FDA recommended that Purdue Pharma's application for a new, resin-coated formulation should replace the original version, which has been on the market since 1996. Randall Flick, MD, an anesthesiologist at the Mayo Clinic who voted to recommend approval of the drug said, "Clearly the old formulation is worse than the new, although I think the difference is relatively small," Flick concluded, "Hardcore abusers are likely to devise new ways to break down the harder tablet or figure out which solvents will dissolve it fastest, within 'day or weeks' of the product's release on the market."

Utah Debates Drug Testing for Public Assistance

Utah has begun to follow the path that so many other states have traveled earlier this year. The path leads to drug testing for public assistance. Utah Senator Dennis Stowell had asked that the issue be studied carefully and Rep. Christopher Herrod said "If someone's on drugs, we shouldn't be giving them money," he said. "There's nowhere in the Constitution that says, 'You have a right to get welfare." At the center of the debate is cost and legality. An analyst for Community Action Partnership of Utah stated that "The cost to test all Utah’s families that receive 'Temporary Assistance for Needy Families' would be high." The analyst added, "That testing all welfare recipients just once would cost about $255,000 and a lawsuit against the state would likely cost more than $1 million." Further discussion and analysis is planned in the upcoming months to decide whether to study the issue further, table the issue or wait un
