The Itaskin Center & Cottage 35-Day Assessment Program is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). This assessment program serves residents between the ages of 10-17 years old. Upon completion of the 35-Day Assessment Program, a Comprehensive Assessment is provided to the youth’s guardian and/or treatment team. The Comprehensive Assessment aims to identify child and familial strengths, resiliencies, and opportunities for growth via a multifaceted approach, while also providing diagnoses, recommendations, and a prognosis for recovery. This multifaceted approach involves a behavioral assessment, comprehensive assessment, wellness/recreation assessment, academic assessment, health screening/physical examination. Additional assessments, as requested by individual teams, include a psychiatric assessment and/or chemical use assessment. Upon completion of the program, the assessment team will also recommend a level of care believed to most accurately represent the current needs of the youth and how best to be supported.

Ross Resources offers comprehensive drug testing and screening. All tests are observed and all staff are trained and certified in drug testing. The following tests are available through our agency: - Hair Follicle Testing: Hair testing is the best method for screening out drug use. Hair testing is a process in which hair specimens are analyzed for illegal drug use. Hair testing offers the longest window of detection, (90 days standard test), and cannot be adulterated or substituted. Any samples that screen positive are confirmed using GC/MS, (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) technology. Hair testing is valid and admissible in court cases. - Single Panel THC Dip Testing Card: The single THC Marijuana dip test card provides for an observed urine sample and results within 5 minutes of collection. - Five Panel Dip Testing Card: Provides very quick and easy verification of drug use. The five panel tests for cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines and methamphetamines. The test is accurate for use for the past 72 hours, or 3 days. As in the single panel test, the donor provides an observed urine sample and results are available within 5 minutes of collection. - EtG Alcohol Testing: EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide), is a direct metabolite of ethyl alcohol and is a marker for recent alcohol exposure. EtG may be detected as soon as 2 hours after exposure and may be detected for up to 80 hours past consumption. EtG tests whether ethanol has been used; it is not for current impairment. EtG is most useful in testing individuals who should not be drinking at all. **It should be noted that all tests can be sent in for further confirmation of levels. Ross Resources will be available to testify in court regarding any positvie tests. Please contact Ross Resources for services/pricing.
