The Home to Led) Drug That, gives parents an opportunity, within the privacy of their own home, to make an early determination as to whether a child may be using drugs or alcohol. Developed by HTL, Inc., a Salt Lake City, Utah baaed firm, the Home to Lab Drub Teat kit is ordered by mail, and arrives complete with simple instruction for obtaining a urine specimen. Included in the instructions are tips on how to prevent tampering while the sample is being collected and a toll free number to call, staffed 24 hours a day by trained specialists if the parent needs advice in a particular situation. The sample is sent, postage prepaid, to an established reputable laboratory where it is tested for the five moat common drugs abused by teenagers, in addition to alcohol presence, as established by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. When properly administered, the test is essentially 100 accurate. Results are returned to the parent by mail within 5 working daya after receipt by the lab.

In addition, it motivates suspecting parents who would generally wait until ths signs of drug use became blatant or until a crisis occurred. "It is surprising to learn that the average drug abusing teenager carries on his activities right under the noses of his parents for one and a half to two years befixs the parents suspect", according to Dr. Lewis B. Hancock, clinician and author of the book "When Drugs Hit Home." Kelly Trimble who conceived the Home to Lab Drug Test fer HTL, Inc. indicates that, "The test is not for every family, but denial is a big problem when it comes to kids and drugs."
