The Drug Lady is an important team member for any business wishing to create or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Our “Drug Lady” is powered by two amazing ladies- a mother-daughter team who have been working together for almost 30 years. Jacqui Derrick developed the original Drugs Don’t Work program in Georgia back in 1994 shortly after the Drug Free Workplace Act was signed into law. Since then, she’s helped hundreds of business owners across the southeast implement and maintain their Drug Free Workplace programs. You can ask anyone- she’s the Original Drug Lady. In 2003 she recognized the need for a dedicated drug testing facility in the Atlanta area to serve employers. We’ve been managing that facility ever since. Her daughter, Ashley, stood no chance. Ashley started helping Jacqui with office work and creating training programs for younger audiences as a teenager. The two became a staple in the industry, working together to help their clients navigate difficult situations, interpret results, assisting with policy creation and management, and educating teams on how drugs can affect a person as well as their livelihood and those around them. If you’ve got a question, chances are they’ve seen it and have the answer. And if you’ve got a story to tell, even better!
A woman owned and operated small business located in the Atlanta Metro Area specializing in creating and managing Drug-Free Workplace programs for employers. Started in 1999, Workright opened their own testing facility in 2003. They strive to provide their clients with a one stop shop for all their substance abuse program questions and concerns.

Dr. Tim Cummins has been in the health and wellness space since 1992. Earned his bachelor’s degree in sports medicine and then continued on to chiropractic school where he graduated with honors in 1999. After establishing a successful family practice, Dr. Cummins dove into research and studying the chronic health issues plaguing the United States. After advanced study and training in the areas of corrective care chiropractic, nutritional needs, detoxification, mindset/mental stressors and the need for applicable exercise and movement, he has determined that the chronic health crisis we are seeing today is a result of people neglecting one or more of those essential areas.
