Urine Drug Screen
Urine testing is the most common testing method. It can help detect use typically in the previous one to three days. The results show if drug metabolites are present in an individual’s urine.
The Urine Drug Screen may include a standard 5, 7, 9 or 10-panel urine drug test, collected and tested by one of our partner collection site and lab partners. Requests for expanded panels are typically able to be accommodated for an additional fee.
Hair Drug Screen
Hair drug testing offers the longest detection window of the specimen types commonly tested by employers. The test is designed to detect drug use between one week and three months from drug use. The process of collecting a hair drug test sample also provides a measure of protection against attempts at specimen substitution.
Saliva (or Oral Fluid) Drug Screen
Drugs take time to metabolize and pass through the system to be detectable in urine and hair tests, making it challenging to test recent usage. However, with oral fluid tests, drugs are usually detectable within minutes and remain detectable for up to 24 hours after use.
