Our Drug Testing Program
Random drug testing is a key component of the treatment process aiding the clinician with an objective measure of progress or lack thereof. Drug tests help clinicians address the realities of a clients substance use and break through the barrier of denial. Accurate testing is the most objective and efficient way to establish a framework for accountability and to gauge each clients progress. Modern technology offers highly reliable testing to determine if an individual has recently used specific drugs. The analyzer tests for cocaine, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, alcohol, oxycodone, and marijuana.
Drug Testing Services Information
Indian River County continues to experience a high level of substance use. Drug and drug-related offenses are some of the most common crimes in our community. Family drug use and addiction often coexist with anger and violence. Drug use by adolescents negatively impacts academic achievement and begins the on-going cycle of devastating consequences through adulthood. Our goal: stop the illicit use and abuse of all addictive substances and curtail the impact on the family, the criminal justice system, and society.
If you have a drug-free workplace SAC can provide drug testing to support your policy and program. If you don’t have an established drug-free workplace consider the financial benefits to you:
The financial benefit to you of becoming a Drug-Free Workplace is that stopping substance abuse in the workplace is linked to reduced theft, fewer accidents, and increased productivity and profits.
And, you will receive a five percent reduction in your workmans compensation insurance premium.
Did you know?
Substance abuse has been estimated to cost the American economy over $365 billion annually.
A large portion of this is attributed to lost productivity which alone costs employers over $260 billion annually. (1)
You and your fellow employers are a key link in curtailing substance misuse and reducing the related costs. No organization, whether it be a business; a nonprofit; or a governmental unit, is immune to the negative impact of alcohol and drug abuse. Nor does the size or location of the organization matter. You can help your organization and your employees, and help your community at the same time. Become a Drug-Free Workplace and join the movement toward a substance-abuse free Indian River County.
