Any Non-Negative Drug & Alcohol test results will require further testing and the Medical Review Officer will contact the donor directly. This can extend the resulting timeline to an average of 1 week.

Minors taking a Drug & Alcohol test will be contacted by the MRO if a non-negative result is initially determined. They will not speak with the parent in these situations because these tests are not considered health tests.
Why Is Drug & Alcohol Testing Valuable
Drug & Alcohol Testing can be of great value to both businesses as well as individuals. As stated above, the majority of workplace accidents are associated with substance or alcohol abuse. Many jobs have safety concerns that should be monitored, and a Drug-Free Workplace Program can help employers maintain a safe workplace. We will work with your company to determine what substances are of the most importance and significance.
​
Safety is the primary concern, but a close 2nd is Workplace EFFICIENCY. Most of the time, the biggest expense that an employer has is payroll. It only makes sense to make sure that your investment in employee wages has the highest ROI possible. Studies have proven that one of the biggest reasons for decreased worker efficiency is drug and alcohol abuse. These substances can have a dramatic effect on the employee’s quality of work and the ability to make good decisions.
​
Pre-Employment testing is often a great tool to prevent a poor hiring decision. We offer these test options as well as ongoing testing programs. Ordering a basic test is a good starting point if you have an immediate need. If you would like to set up an ongoing testing agreement with us, please call us at 844-400-2252.
