PURPOSE:

STR is dedicated to assisting its clients in the design, implementation and support of drug testing programs that effectively and efficiently provide a powerful deterrent to drug use and accurately identify those students, faculty and others already in need of help.

Specific Services

Drug Testing Program Consultation: STR works with clients to create unique drug testing programs that meet the specific needs and goals of the organization. STR will review and make recommendations on existing programs and policies with a focus on effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and best practice.

Testing: STR works exclusively with organizations that partner with the Psychemedics Corporation, the world leader in drug testing using hair. Psychemedics has performed more hair tests for the detection of drugs of abuse than all other labs combined and has been chosen by 10% of the Fortune 500 companies, many of America’s largest police forces and hundreds of schools, colleges and fraternities worldwide. Psychemedics’ patented and FDA cleared hair analysis provides for its clients a 3 month window of virtual certainty of detection. Real accountability is the most powerful deterrent to drug use.

Test Results: Psychemedics receives from all clients confidential identification numbers for each test sample. Psychemedics never receives a name and never knows the identity of the subject whose sample is being tested. As program administrator, only STR can connect the unique Chain of Custody number to the individual whose hair sample is being tested. STR will report positive and/or negative test results to whomever the client stipulates. Some schools may choose to offer a program where the first test results go directly to the parents and not to the school.

People

STR professionals hold advanced degrees in educational administration, counseling, and psychology. They represent a total of more than 60 years in education. Together they have more experience in the implementation of drug testing programs in schools and colleges than anyone else in America, exclusively using Psychemedics hair testing.
