Why Test Kids?
"Have a conversation, not a confrontation," is great advice from experts. We're attaching a good guide from the Partnership For Drug Free Kids, on how to talk to your kids - see below to download. (More... resources from Partnership For Drug Free Kids.) Early intervention could be critical to prevent your adolescent from "experimenting" or developing a more serious "habit." If you suggest a drug test and the child agrees, you can decide which kind of test you may want to have them take. A urine test will show recent drug or alcohol use between 1 to 3 days. A hair test can indicate long term use of drugs. Typically the hair for a drug test is taken from the crown of the head close to the root growth. If you get the teen's agreement, Workplace Screening Intelligence has over 8000 collection sites nationwide. Just fill out the order form on this site and we'll handle your request confidentially. |
