Employee Urine Drug Testing

Employers have several options when they choose to implement an employee drug testing program. One of the most common and reliable drug screening methods is the urinalysis, or urine drug test. Urine drug testing is an accurate and reliable way to detect drug use.

A urine drug test requires a sample of urine from an employee. Drug Test Coordinators offers companies a host of urine based testing options based on their concerns. Urine drug testing is often done to detect employee abuse of typical drugs such as cocaine, marijana, alcohol, and also prescription drugs which have become an increasing problem in many workplaces.

In addition to the Federally-mandated (SAMHSA/DOT) 5-drug panel, Drug Test Coordinators, Inc. offers a variety of test panels and cut off levels. Our standard urine specimen 5-drug panel test screens for the presence of the following drugs and drug classes.
