New Era Drug Testing offers drug and alcohol testing solutions for employers in all industries, and the comprehensive services we offer extend far beyond simple alcohol breath testing, hair follicle drug testing, and the standard 5-panel urine drug test required by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) and Department of Transportation (DOT). For clients that desire or mandate a drug testing procedure that paints a more complete picture of their employee’s recent drug use, New Era Drug Testing now offers advanced, 10-panel urine drug testing in addition to our other great testing services and management tools.
Urine Drug Testing
Advantages to Urine Drug Testing
While the typical SAMSHA-recommended urine tests covers the five most prevalent illicit drugs found in the workplace today – cocaine, marijuana, opiates (heroin), amphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP) – many employers are choosing to implement more comprehensive Drug Free Workplace programs that include less used (but still dangerous) drugs like oxycodone, MDMA (ecstasy), barbiturates, and benzodiazepines. Also, because urine testing is the only method currently allowed for federally-mandated drug tests, it is the most popular and effective screening method in detecting drug use for the previous 1-3 days.
Drugs Detected Through Urine Testing
A standard five-panel drug test will cover your employees and keep your business DOT compliant. However, employers that suspect an employee of drug use but regularly receive negative drug test results may choose to administer an advanced urinalysis, which detects:
- Amphetamines (amphetamine and methamphetamine)
- Cocaine metabolite
- Marijuana metabolites
- Opiates (codeine and morphine)
- Phencyclidine
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepines
- Methadone
- Propoxyphene
