Alcohol and drug testing when you need it

Our team of accredited Collectors conduct the drug and alcohol screenings/testing and our alliances with national pathology companies enable fast delivery of laboratory confirmation testing.

Drug and alcohol testing options include:

• Pre-employment screening
• Random on-site drug screening
• Drug screening for cause programs
• Drug and alcohol dependency assessments

Testing can be done at a CHG clinic or at your worksite using either urine drug screening or oral fluid (saliva) testing, depending on your testing requirements. Onsite screening will provide an instant preliminary positive or negative result, with initial preliminary positive result specimens sent to the laboratory for confirmation. Alternatively, all specimens can be sent directly to the laboratory for testing, with initial results available after 24 hours. Confirmation results for either method normally take about 48 hours.

Testing can be conducted to screen for the following:

• alcohol,
• opiates,
• amphetamines,
• methamphetamines,
• cannabis and cannabis metabolites,
• cocaine and cocaine metabolites,
• benzodiazepines and
• PCP (angel dust).
