Family Services

Minnesota Monitoring provides the following family services:

Drug and Alcohol Testing
In many social service cases where there are questions involving parental drug and or alcohol abuse, Minnesota Monitoring can facilitate drug and alcohol testing. Whether it is court ordered, or voluntary, drug and alcohol testing can be used to alleviate these questions.

Through noninvasive Urinalysis or (UA), Minnesota Monitoring offers to test for the following drugs of abuse: THC, Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamines, PCP, Barbiturates, Nicotine, Benzodiazapines, Methamphetamines, ECSTASY, Ritalin, or DXM.  Hair samples can also be taken to show a longer window of drug abuse.  See employee testing for more information on hair testing.

Many families today are also faced with gripping challenges stemming from alcohol use and or abuse.  In order to help assist parents, social workers, and most importantly children, Minnesota Monitoring provides an in-home alcohol monitor to test for the presence of alcohol consumption. Random or scheduled calls can be placed to best help in a wide variety of family situations.

As with all of our services, Minnesota Monitoring evaluates each case and individualizes the service needed. Each family is different; therefore no two cases can be handled in the same manner. However, each client is treated with dignity and each matter with confidentiality.

Child Protection - Drug Detection Wipes
