At-Home Drug Testing

Many parents are jumping on the ability to at-home test their teenagers for drug use. Sales of home drug screening kits, costing $6 to $15 and often sold on the internet, are soaring. With just one urine test, parents can find out if their child is using between five and 10 different drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, opiates and benzodiazepines. Parents feel empowered knowing that they can quickly get the truth about whether or not their teen is using drugs. Advocates for at-home drug testing say it's also a socially acceptable reason for teenagers to say no to drug use.
