Home Drug Testing Kits

The most effective way to reduce substance abuse is to prevent addiction before it starts; drug tests, used in the privacy of the home, are a secure and non-invasive way to test teens or loved ones for drugs. The Substance Abuse Prevention Program provides home drug testing kits for $5.00. The drug test screens for methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and benzodiazepine – the five most common drugs of abuse today. The Redi-Cup at-home drug test is a simple, contact-free test. The results are easy to interpret and available within five minutes. Purchase of a home drug test kit through the BCHD Substance Abuse Prevention Program can be done with complete anonymity.
