Questions We’ll Ask to Help You Choose the Right Test:

When you contact us, we’ll ask a few simple questions to guide you to the best testing method:

1. What substances do you need to test for?

2. What is the purpose of the test? (e.g., employment, personal use, legal compliance)

3. How far back do you want to detect use? (hours, days, weeks, or months)

4. Where would you like the testing conducted? (In our lab, on-site at your location, or at another lab)

5. What is your budget?

6. How quickly do you need the results?

 

Be Prepared for Your Drug Test

To ensure your appointment goes smoothly, please:

• Bring a government-issued photo ID

• Bring any drug testing paperwork or authorization forms

• Complete our TSL intake form and HIPAA disclosure

• Be prepared to pay on the day of the test

Additional instructions based on test type:

Urine Drug Testing

• Stay hydrated

• Arrive at least 1 hour before closing (preferably 3 hours early if you tend to have a shy bladder)

Hair Drug Testing

• Hair must be clean and completely dry

Nail Drug Testing

• Wash hands and nails thoroughly before arrival

• Remove all nail polish and artificial nails in advance

Note: We do not need your prescription information, but a Medical Review Officer (MRO) may contact you after your test to verify medications if a result is positive.

 

Why We Perform Observed Collections

For certain situations, we perform directly observed collections to ensure the highest integrity and reliability.

Observed collections involve a same-gender collector watching the urine sample being provided, following DOT protocol, to prevent substitution or tampering. This is especially important for:

• DOT-regulated workers (e.g., truck drivers, pilots, Coast Guard personnel)

• Legal or high-security testing cases

• Return-to-duty or follow-up programs

In a DOT-observed test, the donor must raise their shirt above the navel, lower pants and underwear, and turn around in view of the collector before providing the sample.

We understand this can be uncomfortable, and we take every measure to maintain professionalism, privacy, and respect throughout the process.

Do You Need A List Of My Medications For A Drug Test?
Per protocol, the lab techs are not allowed to receive or ask for your medications. A medical review officer or MRO, a licensed physician who specializes in toxicology, will call you and ask for your medications and your physician’s phone number if it’s detected in your sample during testing. The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
