Lots of people know want to know the answer to one question.
Does it cost a lot to administer a home drug test? When parents start seeing the signs of drug use or symptoms of drug use in their teens, how does the cost of using home drug tests compare to other viable prevention strategies, or indecision? It depends.
The cost of a home test usually costs far less than the price of a doctor's visit and lab test.
Plus, there's no medical record that it was ever administered.
The costs of using instant drug kits pale in comparison to the costs of inaction when things go bad.
Specifically, I'm referring to the likely legal fees necessary to defend your teen in court, the costs of rehab or a funeral.
Parents don't like to think about those possibilities.
However, for many parents who have learned this lesson personally, it has been an unfortunate reality.
I've always felt that if kids can afford drugs, their parents can afford prevention.
Unfortunately, too many parents ignore the signs of drug use until the pain is so great they can't deny it any longer.
It shouldn't have to be that way.
