Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I get my test results?
Timing depends on the test type and whether confirmation is required. Many negative drug and alcohol test results are available instantly or on the same day, while confirmed positives may take one to two additional days. Because DNA tests are more complex, processing times could take 2-3 business days. We explain timelines during your visit.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
In many cases, you can walk in for testing, and we will work to keep your wait time short. Some businesses or agencies may ask that you schedule a specific time, and certain types of testing may require an appointment. When you contact us, we can recommend the best option for your situation and let you know the least busy times of day. Our goal is to have you checked in, tested, and on your way as efficiently as possible.
What should I bring with me for my test?
You should always bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license or state-issued identification card. If your employer, school, or attorney gave you paperwork, orders, or a test request form, bring those documents as well. Individuals who are paying on their own should also have a form of payment ready, based on the information we provide when you call. If you are unsure about what to bring, our team can review your situation over the phone and help you prepare so your visit goes smoothly.
Will my employer or anyone else see my test results?
Results are shared only with the parties who are authorized to receive them based on the purpose of your test. For workplace or DOT-related testing, this usually includes your employer or a designated program administrator. For personal or court-related testing, results may be sent directly to you, to your legal representative, or to another authorized contact. We handle all records with care, follow confidentiality procedures, and explain how your specific results will be delivered before testing begins.
Can your team help our company set up a drug and alcohol testing program?
Yes, we work with many businesses to design and support ongoing testing programs. Our team can help you build or refine written policies, determine which types of testing fit your roles, and schedule collections at times that minimize disruption. For companies that must meet DOT or other regulatory guidelines, we take those rules into account when suggesting program structures. We can also provide on-site mobile testing and ongoing program management so your managers spend less time coordinating individual tests.
What types of alcohol testing do you offer for work or legal requirements?
We provide several forms of alcohol testing that are commonly used for employment, compliance, and personal documentation. The right option depends on what the requesting party requires, such as immediate screening for current impairment or testing that may be used for monitoring over time. When you contact us or arrive at our facility, we can review any paperwork or instructions you have and guide you toward the type of testing that aligns with those expectations. Our collectors then follow the appropriate procedures to help ensure results are suitable for their intended use.
How do you keep the testing process comfortable and respectful?
From the moment you walk in, we focus on treating every client with courtesy and discretion. Our lobby and collection areas are kept clean, organized, and designed to provide as much privacy as possible. Collectors explain each step so you know what to expect, and we avoid unnecessary delays that might add to your stress. By combining a well maintained facility with clear communication and efficient procedures, we work to make testing feel straightforward rather than intimidating.
