Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment for testing, or can I walk in?
In many cases, you can visit us without an appointment, although scheduling ahead often makes your visit smoother. Some tests are best handled by appointment so we can plan time and resources, while other common screenings may be available on a walk-in basis. If you are under a tight deadline or have specific paperwork from an employer or court, we suggest calling first so we can confirm the best time for you to come in. Scheduling also helps reduce your waiting time, which is especially helpful if you are coming during a work break or with other commitments.
How fast will I get my alcohol or drug test results?
Result timing depends on the type of test ordered and whether any follow up or confirmation testing is needed. Many screening level alcohol or drug tests can provide an initial result relatively quickly, while more detailed confirmations typically take longer. When you check in, our staff will explain the usual timeline for your specific test, along with how and to whom results will be sent. If you have a deadline from an employer or court, let us know so we can help you understand how our normal timeframes fit that requirement.
Who can see my test results and how is my privacy protected?
We treat all test results and personal information as confidential and share them only with authorized parties. In many situations, that means results are sent directly to the employer, attorney, or agency that requested the test, rather than to a wide group of people. When you arrive, we will review any forms that indicate who is allowed to receive your results and follow those directions carefully. Our staff uses secure systems and consistent procedures for handling records so that your privacy is respected from check in through reporting.
Can your DNA testing be used for legal paternity questions?
Some DNA tests we provide can be used in matters involving paternity or other legal questions, depending on how they are ordered and documented. There is a difference between tests done for personal information and tests that are set up to support legal processes, and that difference usually involves specific forms and identification steps. Our team can explain the options we offer and what kind of documentation comes with each. If you are working with an attorney or court, it is a good idea to confirm what they require and let us know so we can help you choose the appropriate path.
What should I bring with me to my testing appointment?
You should bring a valid form of identification and any paperwork related to your test, such as forms from an employer, attorney, probation officer, or other requesting party. These documents help us confirm which test is needed, how results should be reported, and any special instructions we should follow. If you are unsure what to bring, you can call ahead, and our staff will review your situation and provide guidance. Coming prepared with the right information usually makes your visit faster and more straightforward.
Do you work with local employers for ongoing drug screening programs?
We regularly work with businesses in this area that need ongoing testing as part of their workplace policies. That can include pre-employment screens, random programs, post accident testing, or other structured approaches to supporting safety. Our team can help your company outline how employees will be sent in, what information they should bring, and how results will be reported back. By setting expectations clearly, we aim to make ongoing programs easier to manage for both employers and employees.
