Urine Drug Testing
Whether someone has used drugs by smoking, snorting, eating or injecting drugs, traces of drug use may be picked up in the urine. A urine drug screen (UDS) is a very common, safe and painless form of drug testing. It’s a quick and affordable test used by many businesses, schools, courts, social services and DOT organizations — which is why it’s often seen as a gold standard in the drug testing industry.

Understanding Drug Testing Types, Methods And Specimen Collection
Examining the wide assortment of drug testing options available and exploring the potential pros and cons of each method
There are several reasons or circumstances that can lead to the necessity of a drug test.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Signs, Symptoms and Statistics
Prescription drug abuse implies taking prescription medication was not given to you by the doctor, or taking your prescription medication in a manner that differs from the instructions. While taking prescription medication is not perceived as equivalent to taking illegal street drugs, the consequences can be equally harsh.
Why Do Businesses Need Random Employee Drug Tests?
Do you remember the last time you applied for a new job? Or perhaps you are a hiring manager at the business who has accepted many applications and interviewed potential hires. One common part of the hiring process is the pre-employment drug test. No matter what side of the process you are on, this drug test is designed to ensure that the company ends up with the best employees possible who will be able to perform their duties safely and successfully.
Are urine drug screens instant?
Instant drug screens are not drug tests.
They are an appealing and attractive option because they can provide negative results very quickly. They’re a good option if you do not need to use the results in court. These screens do not confirm a positive result, but instead provide either “negative” or “non-negative” results. The screen’s only value is to rule out certain drugs with a “negative” reading. If the urine screen reads as non-negative, further testing needs to be done by diagnostic lab testing.
This process involves evaluating the collection through a scientific process.
A medical review officer will get involved to gather the person’s prescription information to see if any substances identified in the urine were legally prescribed, and if the prescription instructions were followed. Only after this evaluation can a test result be used and communicated with confidence.
For this reason, we mostly recommend lab-based drug tests combined with lab confirmations to get a defensible, reliable test result.
Be prepared for your drug test:
- Bring your Government Issued Picture ID
- Bring Drug Test Paperwork or Authorization
- Complete TSL Intake Form & HIPAA Disclosure
- Pay for your Test on the same day it happens
- Make sure you are hydrated if you are performing a Urine Test
- Expect to have your nail polish removed if getting a Nail Drug Test
- We do not need your prescription information but a Medical Review Officer (MRO) may contact you after collection to verify your medications.
- For urine testing, plan on arriving 3 hours before we close (1 hr minimum) to provide a cushion of time for a shy bladder situation.
- For hair testing, be sure to dry your hair completely before arriving.
- For nail testing, be sure to clean your nails with soap and water before arriving. Also, artificial nails and polish must be removed.

- All Test Smartly Labs are open Monday through Friday, from 9am - 5pm
Do We Need To Have An Appointment?

If your situation requires special time considerations, please call us to determine if it would be better to arrange an appointment time.
Do I Need Doctors’ Orders For Testing?
- No doctors’ orders needed, we are a Direct-Access Testing Center. You are encouraged to consult your medical professional with your lab test results.
What’s The Turnaround Time For Lab Work?
- Average turnaround time is 2-5 business days depending on the complexity of the lab work. Most tests are available in 2-3 days
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.
Why We Perform Observed Collections
We are aware of the challenges and cheating involved with urine collection, which is why we offer observed collections at each of our Testing Centers. Observed collections are when a urine drug screen tester monitors the direct supply of urine from the donor's body into the testing container.
We do this in accordance with the Department of Transportation's (DOT) standards to ensure specimen integrity and accurate results.
At Test Smartly Labs, we pride ourselves on the reliability of every test we administer. Observed collections are one of those factors, accurate drug testing can improve productivity and safety in the workplace. This aspect is especially true in the DOT, and non-DOT safety-sensitive positions. Mitigating impairment through monitoring is critically important for any organization,
Test Smartly Labs takes everyone’s testing seriously, including the person being tested, and we will make every effort to reduce discomfort and maintain professionalism without sacrificing security.
