Testing in prisons
HM Prison Service has two important drug testing programmes and Concateno has played a vital part in both since 1999.
Firstly, HM Prison Service Mandatory Drug Testing programme randomly tests prisoners to track drug use within prisons and to determine which types of drugs are being used. Concateno supplies the kits used to collect the samples, provides a courier service to transport them and analyses the urine in our UKAS accredited laboratory.
Secondly, HM Prison Service Compact Based Drug Testing (CBDT and formerly known as Voluntary Drug Testing) uses Concateno’s on-site rapid urine tests. These tests confirm that the prisoners are staying drug free, in compliance with an agreement signed by each prisoner who enters the programme
IDTS
The ‘Integrated Drug Treatment Service’ (IDTS) aims to integrate clinical and psychological treatment in prisons into a single system that works to the NTA’s (National Treatment Agency) Models of Care & treatment Effectiveness Strategy.
Concateno supplies a range of products and services to the IDTS teams, including our on-site urine tests and the Cozart® DDS. In addition to drug treatment, the IDTS also look at additional areas including infectious diseases. Concateno’s range of blood borne virus tests are used extensively across the prison service within IDTS.
