Missed appointments and sample substitution can also limit conventional monitoring. Enter DrugPatch continuous drug monitoring and Scram Remote Breath remote alcohol testing to give a new approach to drug and alcohol abstinence monitoring.

New Integrated Solution Brings a New Approach to Drug and Alcohol Abstinence Monitoring in the UK
DrugPatch® and SCRAM Remote Breath® combine continuous drug monitoring with remote alcohol testing to provide a more complete picture of abstinence and recovery.
A new approach to drug and alcohol abstinence monitoring is now available in the UK, combining DrugPatch® continuous drug monitoring with SCRAM Remote Breath® remote alcohol testing.
Traditional testing methods such as urine, oral fluid and occasional breath tests provide only a snapshot of substance use at the time of testing. Missed appointments and concerns around sample substitution can also limit the effectiveness of conventional monitoring.
DrugPatch offers a different approach. The discreet, tamper-evident wearable patch continuously collects sweat for up to 10 days, providing evidence of drug use or abstinence across the entire wear period. Results are laboratory confirmed using LC-MS/MS, with full chain of custody.
Combined with SCRAM Remote Breath, which enables scheduled, random and on-demand alcohol testing, services can obtain a more comprehensive and objective picture of an individual’s drug and alcohol abstinence.
The solution is designed to support earlier identification of relapse, stronger safeguarding and more informed clinical decision-making, while reducing the need for frequent clinic visits and the administrative burden associated with repeated urine or Saliva collections.
The technology has potential applications across the UK care pathway, including community drug and alcohol services, residential rehabilitation, detoxification, criminal justice and probation, family support, supported housing and recovery aftercare.
DrugPatch and SCRAM Remote Breath can be used together as an integrated solution or independently, providing services with flexibility to adopt the technology according to their individual requirements.
The aim is simple: to move beyond periodic “snapshot” testing and provide professionals with better, more timely evidence to support recovery, relapse prevention and safeguarding.
