Monitor abstinence this festive period with DrugPatch
By Lextox Drug and Alcohol Testing
Supporting your client
Christmas can be full of triggers for those with substance use issues, such as loneliness, financial issues and other pressures that come with the season. Monitoring drug abstinence during this time can be difficult, which can cause delays to family law cases as there will be a period where no evidence is being collected, potentially prolonging disruption to your client’s life. However, Lextox can help.
We are the exclusive provider of DrugPatch to the UK family law sector. DrugPatch is an innovative and non-invasive way to help monitor abstinence over a set period of time. The patch is applied to the donor’s upper arm and worn for up to 10 days as either a one-off exercise or as part of a 30, 60 or 90 day programme. This means you can ensure evidence will continue to be collected throughout the festive season and your case can move forward.
The patch is also discreet and doesn’t interfere with day-to-day activities so your client can still take part in Christmas celebrations.
The science behind DrugPatch
The patch continually monitors sweat for the use of drugs, only allowing small molecules such as water vapour to pass through, while drug molecules are collected on the absorbent pad. The pad is then sent to the laboratory to be analysed and a positive or negative result is recorded.
It also provides clear evidence if there has been an attempt to tamper with it so you can rest assured in its reliability.
DrugPatch detects for the most commonly used drugs, as well as other substance groups. You can find the full drug detection list here.
