MONITORED DRUG TESTING

Adolescents today face an array of pressures that past generations never encountered. With the emerging world of social media adolescents now have a wealth of information virtually at their fingertips; often leading to increased peer pressure, social acceptance, and media influence.     

To help parents and schools address these issues, CYS offers monitored and unmonitored drug testing for school districts and private schools that have instituted a voluntary drug test program at their middle and/or high school campuses as well as monitored private drug testing services and take home test kits.

Services Available

• School Drug Testing Program: Many schools have us provide drug testing for their students. We can go to the school site and administer the random student drug testing for 50 to 100 students at a time as often as the school prefers. When students are in this program, it decreases absences, provides students a way out of using, and keeps parents informed of student needs. All student drug testing is confidential and schools do not get notified of a student’s positive test results. Currently we drug test for all of Los Alamitos Unified School District’s high schools and middle schools, Rosary HS, San Clemente HS, and Dana Hills HS. Contact us if you are interested in offering drug testing for your school.
