Drug Screening and Testing - Content Section 1 (ID:173)
Drug Screening and Testing The drug testing program through Families F.I.R.S.T. will follow all of the US Health & Human Services standards and requirements for a collection site. All verification of testing is done through a laboratory that is SAMHSA approved. The collection sites require that staff follow a strict set of compliance and chain of custody in the handling of all testing. Families F.I.R.S.T. will adopt the procedures as outlined by SAMHSA.
Collectively, our agencies present with over four years of experience in providing drug screening services. The DST through Families F.I.R.S.T will utilize the 10-Panel I-CUP which tests for the following:
- Cocaine
- Amphetamine
- Methamphetamine
- Marijuana (THC)
- Opiates
- Phencyclidine
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepine
- Methadone
- Ecstasy
Drug screening will include a combination of home and site options as requested by CFS. All youth assigned for screening will be assigned to have both scheduled and random drug screens. Site-based drug screens will be available at multiple locations to accommodate youth which is in alignment with our Wraparound Model.
For validity of testing results, Families F.I.R.S.T. requires the addition of a Medical Review Officer (MRO), a person who is a licensed physician and responsible for receiving and reviewing laboratory results generated by a collection site?s drug testing program and evaluating medical explanations for certain drug test results.
