How St. Jude Labs is Partnering With Drug Rehab Centers for an Addiction-Free America
Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease that affects people in this country across all demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds. Each year, almost 50,000 people in the United States die from opioid overdoses alone. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent drug rehab centers across the country staffed with compassionate and hardworking professionals who are doing their part to combat this horrible epidemic. At St. Jude Labs, we are proud to do our part in the fight against addiction as well by partnering with drug rehab centers to offer state-of-the-art urine drug screenings and confirmations.
The Importance of Drug Screening Confirmations
Drug rehab centers do an excellent job of helping people overcome addiction through a variety of counseling and medical services. Before a rehab center can begin treating a patient, though, it is first essential for them to ascertain the exact substances that the patient is addicted to. Unfortunately, the patients at rehab centers cannot always be relied on to tell the complete truth about their addiction. This makes it necessary for drug rehab centers to conduct an initial drug screening each time a new patient is admitted to the facility.
In addition to testing patients when they are admitted to determine the exact substances that they have been taking, many rehab centers follow up with patients after they leave the program to ensure that they are staying clean. These follow-up drug screenings are sometimes voluntary, but are often court-mandated. In either case, follow-up drug screenings play an important role in helping patients avoid falling back into addiction after they leave a drug rehab program.
Of course, the importance of drug screening also makes it important for drug rehab centers to work with an experienced and reliable testing provider. At St. Jude Labs, we offer swift and comprehensive drugs of abuse screening and confirmatory testing that is designed to help drug rehab centers across the country in their fight against addiction.
