Drug & Alcohol Testing
Students
Parents and students expect schools to offer protection from all forms of abuse. Drug testing is a proven method that is effective in detecting, confirming, and deterring drug use among young people. It not only helps identify students who use drugs, it helps students cope with peer pressure by giving them a convenient reason to say no to drugs. Our partnership with hundreds of schools has shown a distinct commitment to executing a successful student drug testing program that is effective, confidential, and compassionate.
Employees
Drug testing can help to improve employee morale and productivity while decreasing absenteeism, accidents, downtime, turnover, and theft. Because every business and workforce is unique, we assist employers in customizing a comprehensive program with what is most appropriate for their business, industry, type of workforce and location.
Federal DOT
The Department of Transportation Drug Abatement Division of the DOT/FAA certified the Southwest Consortium in 1995, and we were one of the first consortia to meet certification of authorized approval throughout the United States. We work effectively and efficiently to keep you in compliance with DOT requirements. We stay focused on continuous communications with SAMSHA and ODAPC to stay abreast of procedural and protocol updates.
Testing Methods
Urine Testing
Urine testing is the most common drug testing method. This method detects drugs in the system, on average, up to 10-30 days after ingested, and it is the most cost effective method. It is also the only method approved for federally mandated drug tests.
Hair Testing
Hair testing involves collecting a series of hair strands. Hair testing detects drug use up to 90 days, and therefore is often used when confirming long term abstinence. Since it is observed, it is difficult for the donor to alter the specimen.
Saliva Testing
Saliva testing involves collecting oral fluid from the mouth. When compared to other tests, it typically detects drugs closer to the time of use. The detection window for saliva is usually 24-48 hours after ingestion.
Nail Testing
Nail testing involves collecting clipped nails from fingers and toes. This method of drug testing determines if drugs have been used at any time over the past 6-8 months. As with hair and saliva, since it observed, it is difficult for the donor to alter the specimen.
On-site and Off-site Testing
On-site Testing
Our on-site testing makes the process efficient and convenient. Our mobile technicians arrive at your location, prepare the testing area and follow specific testing protocol to reduce the attempts of specimen alteration.
