Psychemedics school drug testing program deters drug usage with unrivaled certainty of detection.

Student Drug Abuse Is The Educator and Parents Worst Nightmare

A Psychemedics school drug testing program using hair analysis is your best tool to deter usage. Our screens detect drugs used up to 90 days previous to a test, making it virtually impossible for a drug user to avoid detection. The 2018 survey of students by the National Institutes for Health shows an encouraging trend. The use of most illicit drugs is at the lowest level over the past twenty years. However alcohol and marijuana usage is holding steady, vaping and illicit drugs are on the rise, and Fentanyl is showing up in popular so-called party drugs. The threat is real.

Things You Should Know

Eight Reasons Psychemedics School Hair Drug Testing Program Is The Educators' Choice.

Save a Life. Implement School Drug Tests.

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) figures paint a conflicted picture of the risks students face. Although they are abusing most illicit drugs less they are more prone toward daily use of marijuana than ever before.

Of concern is continued use of “party drugs” such as Xanax or Percocet that increasingly are laced with fentanyl and pose a grave risk for overdose or worse. And a troubling trend is an increase in vaping which may be used to ingest marijuana oils.

The 5-Panel Drug Screen is a critical tool for school drug tests in that it not only screens for the most frequently used drugs but in the process identifies students most at risk for exposure to counterfeit drugs or those tainted with fentanyl or PCP by illicit drug manufacturers.

All Hair School Drug Testing Is NOT The Same

For hair drug tests, it is all about how our numbers stack up to other labs.

  • Unrivaled detection rate that is 2-3X the others.
  • 60% less hair required for testing
  • The only lab with FDA clearance on all drug screens
  • 9 Patents on drug testing with hair
  • Fewest retests resulting from collection errors
  • Fastest turnaround time
  • Prescription drug detection
  • Superior student drug testing

For the numbers that matter most, Psychemedics is just better.

Cheating The Drug Test Is A Thing Of The Past

The tactics for evading urine tests are well known and widely available to students with a quick Google search. Psychemedics defeats tampering because:

  • Sample collection is fully observable with no chance to substitute samples
  • Washes, dyes, and other treatments do not hamper detection
  • Captures 90 days of usage patterns eliminating short-term abstinence as an evasion tactic.

In addition, a Psychemedics hair drug test eliminates the stigma and potential liabilities of a staff-observed urine collection. Psychemedics leads the industry in drug testing programs.

Requires Smallest Sample

A Psychemedics hair drug test requires less than half the amount of hair be removed than other hair testing labs. Our test requires a 1/2 inch sample of hair about as big around as pencil lead. That means fewer retests required due to insufficient quantity. And maybe more important, it leaves indiscernible cosmetic evidence and brings no social stigma for your students.

No trauma. No drama.

Drug Testing in Schools Deters Usage & Saves Lives

The Certainty of Detection is the Best Deterrent.

We say that often and it is proven true every day. Both educators and students tellus that being able to say “My school hair drug testing program” is a socially acceptable way to abstain from drug usage when they are in social settings and subject to peer pressure

You can help your students just say no.
