The initial meeting is done virtually with a substance use counselor. During this first meeting, the counselor discusses individual goals, reviews the testing process, and observes the one-time DNA cheek swab. After the initial DNA swab is collected, individuals can complete the tests in the privacy of their homes without the need for an observed collection.
Our experts oversee and manage the testing process so that individuals and loved ones have the peace of mind knowing that the process is being handled. Our team delivers the results to any individuals with signed consents so that accurate information is available to anyone that needs the results. Additionally, our counselors assist with goal setting, educate, support, and provide recommendations when needed.
