Drugs of Abuse: 7 Drugs Urine Screen is a urine-based screening test that detects the presence of commonly misused or abused drugs and their metabolites. It is used to identify recent exposure to selected substances and may be performed for clinical evaluation, workplace or occupational screening, rehabilitation monitoring, or other medical and legal purposes. Positive screening results may require confirmatory testing using a more specific analytical method.
A positive result indicates that the test has detected a substance or its metabolite above the assay's specified cutoff level.
No. A positive screening result only indicates the detection of a substance or its metabolite and does not by itself establish abuse, dependence, or addiction.
Yes. Some prescribed or over-the-counter medications may affect screening results or cause cross-reactivity with certain assays.
