DrugPatch | Festive Period 1

Monitor abstinence this festive period with DrugPatch

Monitoring substance use during the festive season can be a difficult task to navigate but we’ve made it easier with DrugPatch; an innovative way to help monitor abstinence over a set period of time.

How does it work?

Exclusive to UK family law via Lextox, DrugPatch is applied to the donor’s arm and worn for up to 10 days as a one off exercise or as part of a 30/60/90 day programme. Therefore, you can rest assured a reliable monitoring programme will be in place throughout the festive period, ensuring evidence will continue to be collected.

The process:

The DrugPatch is applied to the donor’s upper arm.

The patch continually collects sweat from the skin, only allowing small molecules like oxygen and water vapour to pass through.

Drug molecules pass through the film and collect on the absorbent pad.

The pad is removed and sent to the laboratory for testing. Results are reported as either positive or negative.
