How to get a drug or alcohol test

A private individual can order a drug or alcohol test by contacting a professional testing company. There are various reasons you might want to do this - for example to test a child or a family member that you're worried about, or to prove to a judge or an employer that you are substance-free. Legal professionals, employers and social workers may also want to order a test.

A testing lab can take a sample of blood, urine, oral fluid, hair or nail clippings and test them for the metabolites and by-products of different drugs. Alcohol can also be detected in a person's breath, or even in their sweat (using a special ankle monitor),

Different types of test have different strengths and weaknesses, and can reveal different information. Hair testing for example can provide an overview of drug use going back as far as 6 months (providing the donor has long enough hair). Speak to a teasing company to find out which test (or combination of tests) is most suitable for you or your client.
