Our goal at Heather R. Hayes & Associates is to empower you to become responsible and accountable for your own recovery while providing support and guidance along the way. Drug and alcohol screening ensures that you stay accountable and stick with your treatment plan while also reliably informing family members and supporters that their loved one is abstaining from drugs and alcohol.
Studies show that consistent drug and alcohol monitoring in early recovery can lead to better outcomes. Our drug screening and monitoring services include individualized planning and daily monitoring to meet specific needs and recovery goals. Daily drug and alcohol screening reinforces accountability and offers transparency among members of a person’s recovery circle, documents sobriety, and gives families peace of mind.
Cessation of prescribed medication can lead to recurrence of unwanted behaviors, substance abuse and mental health challenges. With careful monitoring, we can promptly identify and remedy any inconsistencies in one’s medication management or drug use to get the individual back on track quickly and safely.
Our team works diligently with a nationwide network of testing providers to develop a screening and monitoring program that fits each person’s lifestyle and supports sustainable recovery. We closely monitor our testing program to ensure that your loved one is participating in testing on assigned days and that any positive results are “double-tested” to accurately confirm results.
We utilize testing that offers some of the best and most accurate screening methods in the industry, including a portable, real-time, at-home alcohol monitoring system that makes alcohol testing easy, convenient and discreet. In addition, we offer urine analysis, hair, follicle, blood, saliva and fingernail testing, which provides our clinical team with a full history of chemical use. Our range of tests allow us to establish a clinical “baseline” for your loved one, whereby we can also effectively assess whether psychotropics and medications are being taken as prescribed.
Drug testing and monitoring is just one of the many available tools we offer to hold individuals accountable and keep family members informed of their progress. We are also able to coordinate testing for those traveling for school, business or leisure by utilizing our nationwide network of providers.
