Drug Tests
Drug testing is an effective and widely accepted way to ensure a drug-free workplace. With comprehensive drug tests, you can identify drug use, deter consumption of illicit substances, and ensure the safety of staff, customers, children, roadways, and the public. Drug screenings are used by businesses, courts, parents, and divorcing spouses to prevent negative consequences from drug use.
Health Street has 10,000+ nationwide testing labs that provide DOT and non-DOT drug testing. Register at (888) 378-2499 for urine drug testing or hair follicle tests. We also offer alcohol screening, including breathalyzer tests, and provide court-ordered and employment drug testing services. Health Street manages random drug testing programs for individuals and companies, and we offer onsite post-accident testing.
About Our Drug Testing Services
This time-tested and most common method is both effective and inexpensive. It is much harder to cheat than people think. Our urine drug test detects recent drug use—typically 24 to 72 hours, and it can detect virtually any drug. We offer many options, from a basic 5 panel drug test that checks for the most common substances, to a comprehensive 25 panel test, which includes popular prescription and illegal drugs. We also have specialized screens that cover rare or newer drugs not included in our panel tests.
Hair follicle drug testing provides a much longer detection window than urine. Hair tests can detect drug use in the past 90 days. If the individual has short hair or no head hair, their body hair can be used. However, if they are completely bald, the hair test isn't possible. Many substances can be detected in hair samples, though not all. Health Street provides many types of hair tests, from the basic 5 panel to a 14 panel hair test, which includes oxycontin and fentanyl. We also have a hair screen just for alcohol.
With alcohol testing, you can determine if a person is presently intoxicated or has been drinking alcohol in the past. Choose an alcohol test based on your circumstances. A breath test detects if someone is presently intoxicated and is recommended for reasonable suspicion or post-accident testing. Urine tests can look back up to 80 hours. They are often used by courts or ex-spouses to ensure that alcohol was not consumed while the person had custody of a child. A blood test detects alcohol usage over a 3-4 week period and can prove or disprove sobriety over the prior month. Hair tests go back 90 days and are used in cases where little to no alcohol is allowed over a longer time period.
Like many businesses, you may wish to require drug tests as a condition of employment. In addition to ensuring a drug-free workplace, you reduce your risk of liability from accidents caused by intoxicated workers. Pre-employment drug testing is the most common type of workplace drug testing. However, a growing number of companies aggressively root out drug users from their staff with random testing, promotion testing, and on-site testing. Reasonable suspicion and post-accident testing will help your business minimize legal liabilities, such as workers compensation claims.
Courts order drug testing in relation to DUI/DWI, probation, child custody, or pre-trial services. Divorcing parents often sign an agreement to take a drug or alcohol test as a condition of being allowed to visit their children. A legal agreement or court order will indicate testing frequency and reporting requirements. For those caught driving while intoxicated, a court will typically require one or more drug screens. Many jurisdictions require ongoing testing even before the trial.

Our basic 5 panel urine drug test is $75, while the 22 panel test, which detects many substances, costs $399. We offer many drug and alcohol testing services, including alcohol-only tests, combination tests and custom panels.
