Types of Drug Test Panels and Screenings

See All Drug Tests

Drug test panels are classified by the substances being screened. They range from 5 panel tests up to 25 panel tests. The more panels a test includes, the greater its scope.

Companies that require employee drug testing often choose a drug panel based on the requirements of their workplace drug policy. Whether you are legally required to conduct drug screenings, or you’ve decided to establish a drug-free workplace, you’ll need to do some research to find the right drug tests for you.

About Our Drug Panels

Customizing a Drug Panel

Marijuana and THC related drugs can be excluded from many of our drug panels. This is recommended for those being tested in states where marijuana has been legalized. Testing for certain substances can be added on as well, such as alcohol, nicotine, or oxycodone.

Certified Medical Review Officer

Health Street uses only the most reputable, highly respected laboratories for drug testing analysis. The results are reviewed at a SAMHSA certified laboratory by a Medical Review Officer, who is also a licensed physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about alcohol?

Many of our drug panels include the option to also screen for alcohol use. When combined with a traditional panel, adding alcohol screening to the drug test saves money. A drug test that includes alcohol is commonly ordered for court related purposes such as probation, child custody, and pretrial services.

Which drug panel test should you choose?

Now that you know what each panel picks up on, you might be wondering what drugs you should screen for and which you don’t. The right drug panel test for your company’s screening process depends on factors like your legal requirements, your industry, and your geographic location.

Are there any regional considerations?

With today’s opiate crisis, a 5 panel test isn’t enough to screen for prescription drugs that are abused, like oxycodone, ecstasy, and fentanyl. When deciding on a test, you may want to research which drugs are the biggest problems in your state. For example, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee have the largest number of opioid prescriptions per capita, making them ground zero for the opioid crisis. Likewise, Michigan, New York, and Indiana have the highest rates of crystal meth use.

What are some industry-specific concerns?

Besides taking your region’s drug problems into consideration, you also want to look at industry-specific concerns. If you’re in the health care or veterinary industry, where employees have access to prescription drugs, it’s important to be as comprehensive in your testing as possible.

If you’re in the construction industry or your employees operate heavy machinery, a lack of alertness caused by drug abuse is a safety concern, so consider a test with 12 or more panels. If your employees are white-collar workers in stressful positions, you may want to consider tests that include cocaine, ecstasy, and expanded opiates.

How long do drugs last in your system?

In general, the average window of detection for drugs in any panel drug test is approximately one week. However, it is important to note that this is an approximation that varies depending on several factors. In most situations, “harder” drugs – such as cocaine – exit the human body faster, while “softer” drugs like marijuana will remain in the system longer. Other factors that can impact detection time are:

schedule
The amount of the drug ingested plays a role; the more a person takes of a given substance, the longer it can be found in a urine test.
schedule
Frequency of use is a factor; a single use may not show up on a urine test but repetitive usage can be detected for a longer period of time.
schedule
An individual’s metabolism also plays a role. Some people may metabolize drugs faster than others, which means those drugs could leave their system faster.
How long does it take to get back drug test results?

Results take about one business day for negatives, and three to five business days to confirm non-negatives.
