Skin Drug Test in Nashville

Continuous Drug Monitoring With a Professionally Applied Sweat Patch

We provide sweat and skin patch testing for people who need drug-use monitoring across a defined period. Rather than capturing a specimen at a single appointment, the patch collects sweat throughout the monitoring period.

This method may be requested for probation testing, court-ordered testing, workplace requirements, or another authorized program. Because acceptance requirements vary, confirm the method and monitoring instructions with the person or organization that ordered the test.

Call (615) 551-5861 to discuss your testing requirement and request an appointment.

Certified Collection Backed by More Than a Decade of Experience

Our certified collectors apply and remove patches with close attention to confidentiality and accuracy. We also maintain a clean, inviting facility and aim to keep wait times under five minutes.

We offer affordable testing for individuals and organizations. Before your visit, we can explain the available options and determine whether skin drug testing matches the instructions you received.

Confirm the Required Test Before Your Appointment

Share any instructions from the ordering authority when scheduling your appointment. We can explain your options, but the court, probation department, employer, agency, or other requesting party determines which method it accepts. Confirming those requirements in advance can help you arrive prepared for the correct service.

How the Sweat Patch Testing Process Works

The process involves controlled application, ongoing collection, professional removal, and laboratory analysis. The monitoring period and documentation requirements depend on the instructions provided for the test.

The process generally includes:

Documentation: The collector completes the required identity and collection records. These may include chain of custody, which documents everyone who handled the specimen.
Application: Our collector applies the patch using the required collection procedure.
Monitoring: The patch remains attached for the period specified in the testing instructions.
Removal: Our collector removes the patch and records relevant details about its condition.
Laboratory analysis: The removed patch is sent to a laboratory for testing.

For an untampered patch, laboratory results are generally available within 1 to 3 days after removal. Shipping, laboratory workload, and program requirements may affect final reporting time.

When Continuous Drug Monitoring May Be Appropriate

This method may be considered when a requesting party needs evidence collected over time rather than at a single collection event. We provide this testing for individuals and probation departments, as well as other authorized monitoring arrangements.

Potential uses include:

Court or probation monitoring
Workplace testing requirements
Family accountability arrangements
Other programs requiring collection across a monitoring period

Ask the ordering authority whether it accepts this method, how long monitoring must continue, and how the final report should be delivered.

What a Skin Patch Drug Test Can Detect

Testing may detect marijuana, cocaine, heroin, opiates, methamphetamines, and PCP. Detection and reporting depend on the substances included in the protocol, the condition of the patch, and the laboratory analysis.

Urine, hair, saliva, and fingernail testing begin with a specimen collected during a particular appointment. By contrast, a sweat patch remains in place and creates a cumulative record across its assigned monitoring period.

Protect the Patch Throughout the Monitoring Period

Don’t remove, alter, or replace the patch unless the testing instructions specifically permit it. Our collectors handle application and removal, and they record any evidence of tampering. Tampering may result in an automatic refusal, meaning the test is recorded as not successfully completed.

Before testing, confirm these details with the ordering authority:

The accepted testing method
The required monitoring period
The instructions for patch care and removal
The required format and destination for results
