Toxicology Testing
Toxicology testing will determine if you have any substances in your system, either legal or illegal. A toxicology screen is indicative of the types of drugs that you are present in your body. Advanced toxicology reports may also show the approximate amount of the drug taken and even how long ago the use event occurred.
The most commonly used method of obtaining a toxicology report is for the participant to provide a urine sample. Urine samples are not the only way that toxicology testing is administered. Blood and hair samples may also be retrieved to determine if any drugs are present in your system.
Regular toxicology testing can be a vital part of the recovery process for addicts who wish to change their life. Here are some benefits for anyone participating in toxicology screens:
-
