Drug Testing

A drug test looks for the presence of one or more illegal or prescription drugs in your urine, blood, saliva, hair, or sweat. Urine testing is the most common type of drug screening. 

What is it used for?

Drug screening is used to find out whether or not a person has taken a certain drug or drugs. It may be used for:

• Employment - Employers may test you before hiring and/or after hiring to check for on-the-job drug use.
• Sports organizations - Professional and collegiate athletes usually need to take a test for performance-enhancing drugs or other substances.
• Legal or forensic purposes - Testing may be part of a criminal or motor vehicle accident investigation. Drug screening may also be ordered as part of a court case.
• Monitoring opioid use - If you've been prescribed an opioid for chronic pain, your health care provider may order a drug test to make sure you are taking the right amount of your medicine.

What do the results mean?

If your results are negative, it means no drugs were found in your body, or the level of drugs was below an established level, which differs depending on the drug. If your results are positive, it means one or more drugs were found in your body above an established level. However, false positives can happen. So if your first test shows that you have drugs in your system, you will have further testing to figure out whether or not you are actually taking a certain drug or drugs.
