What to expect from a drug screening
When you arrive for your drug screening, you’ll need to have your ID with you and be ready to complete a few quick forms. Depending on the type of test, you’ll then provide a hair, urine, blood or saliva sample. A certified drug screen collector will guide you through the process and ensure all regulations are followed.
Screenings we offer
Urine drug screen
A urine drug screen checks for specific illegal drugs or prescription medications. You’ll receive instructions from a certified drug screen collector to ensure that your sample is properly collected and valid. We offer both rapid and lab-based testing options.
Hair drug screen
A hair drug screen can detect drug use over the past one to three months. A trained collector will take a small lock of hair—about the width of a shoelace—from the back of the head or, if needed, from the chest, legs or armpits. Samples are sent to a lab to analyze for drug molecules embedded within the hair shaft.
Blood drug screen
A blood drug screen is performed through venipuncture, which is a procedure where a medical professional draws a blood sample from a vein. After cleaning the skin and identifying a suitable vein, the provider uses a sterile needle to collect the sample. Then, the sample is sent to a lab for analysis.
Saliva drug screen
For a saliva drug screen, a sample is collected by swabbing the inside of the cheek. That sample is then sent to a lab to check for the presence of drugs.
What a drug screen may detect
Drug screens can detect a wide range of substances—both legal and illegal—that may be misused or abused. Commonly screened substances include:
- Alcohol
- Amphetamines, including methamphetamine and ecstasy
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepines
- Cocaine
- Marijuana (THC)
- Opiates, including heroin, morphine, codeine, oxycodone and hydrocodone
