The more you know, the more you can help.

“Drug Free Children; A Parent’s Guide to Being One Step Ahead” is produced by DATCO Services Corporation, the pioneer of drug and alcohol compliance since 1994.

A member of the Drug & Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA), DATCO has produced and introduced drug-and-alcohol-testing kits that keep the workplace a safe, productive environment. We understand that employees are concerned about their children and drugs. This book provides vital information – as well as an easy, effective drug testing kit.

When it comes to keeping children safe and drug-free, both tools are vital. To get the help you need for your child now, call us at 1-800-95 DATCO (32826) or click the button below to download the Parent Drug Handbook.

Common reasons teens turn to alcohol:

  1. Changing schools can create new pressures in their peer group. Whether the change is due to graduation or a move to a new area, it requires a significant adjustment. Making new friends, taking new classes, and getting good grades all challenge a child’s self-confidence. When drugs are readily available, it’s hard to say “no”.

  2. A desire to fit in. All children and teens have a desire to fit in and a fear of failure. Following the crowd – even if they take drugs – is seen as an easy way to be included. Many children will do what it takes to be accepted by their peers.

  3. Family changes have an impact too; a new brother or sister, a divorce, or new partners for parents can create inner turmoil.

  4. Children and teens have an urge to experiment and experience new adventures.

That same baby you once held and nurtured, still needs your guidance and love today – only in different areas in life.
