Drug testing methods

We can conduct drug tests using several collection methods, depending on your circumstances. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you should speak to one of our specialists to find out which is best for you.

Urinalysis drug testing

Urinalysis is the most common option, and is the only method approved method for DOT drug testing. This is quick, simple, and inexpensive, but it does have a few drawbacks.

You’ll need to secure a private restroom, disable the sink and toilet, and place a bluing agent into the water in the toilet bowl. Privacy concerns may also present an problem because the test must be administered by collector of the same gender.

Urinalysis can identify drug use for a longer period of time, but it cannot accurately detect recent drug use.

Oral fluid / mouth swab drug testing

Oral fluid collection is a relatively new method and is gaining popularity because it’s significantly faster and easier than urinalysis, yet is still just as precise and inexpensive. This method of drug testing is becoming increasingly popular in Denver now that marijuana has been legalized, because some employers only want to determine current impairment rather than just whether an employee has used drugs in the past.

Its biggest advantage is that it can be conducted literally anywhere—even in plain view of other people, because oral fluid collection is as simple as swiping a sterile cotton swab between the cheek and gum to collect a small saliva sample.

This method offers the shortest detection window, however, it can detect drug use almost immediately after use.

Hair drug testing

Hair drug testing is less common, but provides the same convenience of oral fluid drug testing.

For this test, the collector will cut a small (less than 1” wide) section of hair, ideally from near base of the scalp, and place it into a specimen container. While this drug testing method is incredibly easy and convenient, some employees may object to having their hair cut.

This method provides the longest detection window, but it generally cannot identify drug use that has occurred within the past few weeks.
