Explanation:
This just a guess -- it would depend very much on the context. But \"laboratorios clinicos\" suggest something like that.

See The Collins Concise Spanish Dictionary:-

consumo
(nm) consumption;
~ de drogas, drug taking;
bienes de ~, consumer goods;
sociedad de ~, consumer society.

Thus the whole phrase might read:-

\" ... manages the monitoring (or: control) of drug-users (or: the consumers of the drugs) ... \"

Hope that helps.

Sorry for the typo. Should be: drug users/consumers
