National Drug Screening understands how critical it is to have simplified access to healthcare services. These Quest collection sites are known as patient service centers or PSC’s. Instant or rapid drug testing commonly known as point of collection testing (POCT) is also available at Quest Diagnostics collection facilities throughout the United States. National Drug Screening partners with Quest Diagnostics to offer the highest quality drug testing services in the United States with lab testing of urine, oral fluid and hair. A trained supervisor should make the reasonable suspicion determinations that lead to a drug and alcohol test. Including reasonable suspicion drug testing in your drug-free program will help maintain a drug-free workplace by dissuading and detecting the use of drugs and alcohol. Some of the indications that may warrant a reasonable suspicion drug test include, but are not limited to: smell of alcohol on the breath or odor on the body, confusion or disorientation, unsteady walking or standing, unusual or erratic behavior, and slurred speech. There is also reasonable suspicion drug testing, which can be one of the most challenging aspects of a drug-free workplace program. Random drug testing allows an employer to use a random selection process to select one or more employees in the workplace to submit to a drug test. Random drug testing ensures that your current employees remain drug-free. Abusing drugs can compromise the stability and integrity of your workplace, so pre-employment drug screening is essential in preventing the hiring of people who use drugs. Pre-employment drug testing allows you to make informed decisions about potential employees. Both non-regulated and federally mandated testing is performed at Quest Diagnostics laboratories. Specimen validity testing is performed at Quest, testing for adulterants is important to catch the cheaters. Specimens tested included urine, oral fluid and hair. In fact, businesses with drug-free workplace programs can qualify for worker’s compensation insurance premium discounts, and other government incentives through your state.ĭrug testing at Quest is lab based and testing detects the metabolites of drugs that are ingested.

The cost of a simple drug test is minimal when compared to the risks that hiring a drug user can present to your workplace. They help improve productivity by decreasing accidents, downtime, absenteeism, theft and turnover. Drug screening programs are proven to be highly beneficial to businesses and also promote better health among employees and their families, decreasing the use of medical benefits. There are many reasons for drug testing, such as post-accident, return to duty, reasonable suspicion, random and pre-employment. National Drug Screening works closely with Quest Diagnostics to provide a comprehensive range of instant and onsite drug tests, lab testing (urine, oral fluid and hair) and other programs and services.
