The Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office is offering 1,000 free drug test kits for parents of teens.
Part of the “Know For Sure” Test Your Teen initiative, the test kits are provided at no cost, funded entirely by money seized from drug dealers in Kankakee County, the office said in a news release.
The tests will be offered for pickup with no information collected and no law enforcement involvement for at-home testing privacy.
The urine collection kits test for five drugs: marijuana, cocaine, morphine, methamphetamines, and amphetamines.
Results are 100% confidential and anonymous, according to the release.
“Yes, this program is 100% funded by drug dealers,” Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe stated on his Facebook page. “Drugs don’t just ruin lives – they end them. One pill, one hit, one mistake can mean no tomorrow. Testing at home gives you the truth, before tragedy strikes.”
“Early detection can save lives – and now, you can take action privately at home," Rowe stated.
