Substance Abuse Screening Services, Inc. (SASSI)

SASSI was formed to provide drug screening services for the Lehigh County Departments of Probation, Pretrial Services, Office of Children and Youth Services, and the Office of the Court Administrator. Since 2001 SASSI has been moving forward and making many breakthroughs powered by cutting edge technology and employees that are inspired to make a difference. Growth & Expansion

On September 3, 2001, SASSI opened with three referrals and portable drug testing kits, some used furniture and one PC. Within 6 months, referrals had grown exponentially and negotiations had begun for a data management system and an automated analyzer for testing. Contracts expanded to include private sector employers, off site collections became available, and payroll expanded to include six fulltime and one part time employee and a satellite office in a neighboring county. By the fifth year, SASSI's continuous growth and expansion required a move. Today, SASSI has grown from its humble beginnings to a state-of-the-art laboratory with cutting edge technology and a comprehensive staff. Three certified laboratory technicians and operators, an assistant manager, general manager, CEO and ten reception and service personnel assure accuracy, superior service and the highest standards in a comfortable and confidential setting.
