Student Testing
Parents and students expect schools to offer protection from all forms of abuse. Drug testing is a proven method that is effective in detecting, confirming, and deterring drug use among young people. It not only helps identify students who use drugs, it helps students cope with peer pressure by giving them a convenient reason to say no to drugs. Our partnership with educators has shown a distinct commitment to executing a successful student drug testing program that is effective, confidential, and compassionate.
We customize your program to build a successful testing program that is best for your school.
Who to test
The majority of schools test students that are involved in UIL or extra curricular activities and students that park on campus. However, there are also schools that test the entire student population. The grades that most schools test include grades 7 through 12. We customize your testing protocol to include any or all student groups.
How to test
The testing method that most schools use is urine testing. Urine testing method is very cost effective and the detection time of drug use is applicable to students. Hair, and saliva testing are other testing methods, as well as breath for alcohol. Any test method may be selected, and it is important to understand the methods and their benefits. We can provide you valuable insight on testing methods to assist with determining how to test.
What to test
We test for multiple drugs, and we continuously update our list with new drugs that are introduced. We monitor trending drug use and we proactively communicate this information to you. We provide guidance on testing for different drugs and we can add or change the drug types, at any time.
When to test
School calendars are full of activities, which is why we make the testing process quick and easy. We review the testing population and frequency, and we work with you to schedule dates and times to test at your campus. We also test at specific events. For example, performing alcohol breath tests at prom and homecoming. We offer many solutions for your testing needs.
Student Vaping is on the rise.
Several schools acted quickly to the vaping problem on their campus and requested our assistance by implementing testing for nicotine immediately. Although the administration in most schools knew that vaping was happening, the amount of positive results was greater than expected. The knowledge and understanding of a substance abuse problem in your school is valuable and allows you to stop the problem before it escalates. We are here to assist with keeping all students healthy and safe, and we work quickly to make changes when needed.
