Twelve Questions to Ask
When Selecting a Drug Testing Program

• Which drugs are detected (SAMHSA, NIDA-5 drug panel)?


• What levels of drugs are detected?


• What is the usage time window for each drug that the test will detect?


• What regulatory agencies have approved and validated the test?


• Is this form of testing legal in the state and industry in which it would be given?


• What drug confirmation technology is used?


• Is it cost-effective and convenient?


• Are special facilities, training, scheduling fees, or travel required?


• Is it an approved and valid test, or only a drug “screen” that will require additional testing elsewhere?


• What is the turnaround time for results?


• How is chain-of-custody protected?


• How easy would it be to introduce adulterants to the sample?

Warning! Drug abusers have many options to try to “beat” a urine test. See, for instance, the Whizzinator.

Instead, consider oral drug testing, or assessments for workplace attitudes, opinions, and integrity.
