Fentanyl Urine Test

This test should be scheduled by healthcare employers who suddenly find their fentanyl supplies depleted without good reason. It should also be set up by families concerned about illicit fentanyl use amongst loved ones. You can register to come to one of our clinics, or we can even come onsite to business locations.

You can register online or over the phone. Once paid, you will get an authorization code, and you (or the person you are testing) can then walk into our nearest clinic. The registration code comes to you via email. If you need to find a clinic, use the location finder at the top of this page.

Results for a fentanyl test take 3 to 5 business days. The report is sent to your email. We can also report to whomever else you specify should receive the results.

Fentanyl is frequently stolen from hospitals and other medical supply houses by insiders (such as employees) and resold on the street for recreational use. When hospital grade fentanyl makes its way to the black market, it is more potent than street heroin and significantly more dangerous. Fentanyl can be injected, taken orally (licked like lollipops), smoked, or snorted. Duragesic is a fentanyl transdermal patch that often shows up in street supplies. Dealers cut the patches up and sell them to people who eat or smoke the gel. Newer patch designs embed the drug into a silicon matrix to prevent street use. For some individuals, this drug provides relief when no other drug will. On the street, however, abuse of fentanyl produces a high comparable to heroin.

Individuals taking fentanyl develop tolerance to the drug, making it more difficult to get high over time without increasing the dosage. An overdose suppresses breathing and leads to respiratory arrest. Overdose treatment includes the administration of an opiate antagonist such as naloxone. Fentanyl is a highly addictive compound with acute withdrawal and potential post-acute-withdrawal syndrome — intense depression with thoughts of suicide. Most people coming off it will feel like they have the flu complete with chills and fever. Some experience a fast heart rate, tachycardia, as well.

Unless fentanyl is specifically listed in the panel of drugs being tested, other drug panels may not test for it. Health Street offers a specialized Fentanyl Drug Test designed to specifically detect this synthetic opiate.

Although many institutions may choose to test for fentanyl, our Fentanyl Drug Test is commonly ordered by healthcare institutions that have concerns about employee theft of their supplies. By utilizing this test, these institutions can effectively screen for the presence of fentanyl and ensure the integrity of their medication stock.

This depends on many factors, including the person's age, metabolism, frequency of use, and the amount used. Our urine drug tests have the ability to detect use up to one week back.
