Alcohol, Drug, and DNA Testing Services Near Burlington, MA

Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Can I Get A Drug Test Appointment?

We work to offer appointments as quickly as possible, often the same day, depending on current demand and the type of test you need. Many visitors in the Burlington area are able to come in shortly after they call, and some services may be available on a walk in basis. Exact timing can vary by day and by the volume of testing we are handling, so we always recommend calling ahead so our team can give you the most accurate options.

When you contact us, we will ask about the reason for your test and any deadlines you are facing. That helps us recommend a time that fits your schedule and any requirements from your employer, court, or program. Our goal is to make sure you can complete your test before your due date without added stress.

How Long Will My Drug Test Visit Take?

Most visits are relatively quick. Our goal is to keep lobby wait times under five minutes whenever possible, then move you through check in and collection efficiently. For many clients, the entire visit, from arrival to completion of the sample, takes a short amount of time, although exact duration can vary based on how busy the facility is and the type of test being performed.

We know that you may be coming on a work break, before a shift, or between other commitments, so we plan our staffing and processes around keeping your visit brief. If you have a tight schedule, let us know when you arrive, and we will explain what to expect that day.

When Will I Get My Drug Test Results?

Result timing depends on the specific test ordered and any confirmation that may be required. Many standard workplace panels can provide rapid initial results very quickly. When a laboratory analysis is needed, such as for certain confirmations or expanded panels, the process typically takes longer and depends on lab workload and any additional testing needed.

When you check in, our team will explain the usual timeframe for your particular test and how results will be reported. In many cases, results go directly to your employer, court, or program contact. For individual testing, we will discuss with you how and when you can expect to receive information. Our goal is always to deliver accurate results as quickly as the testing method allows.

What Should I Bring To My Drug Test?

You should bring a valid government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. If your employer, court, or another organization has given you a form, order, or reference number, bring that paperwork as well. Having these items ready when you arrive helps us check you in quickly and make sure your results are linked to the correct account.

If you are unsure what documentation is required for your specific situation, you can call us ahead of time and we will walk through it with you. For some tests, you may receive special instructions from your employer or program, and it is important to follow those directions carefully. Our team can help you understand how those instructions fit into the testing process once you arrive.

Will My Drug Test Results Be Kept Confidential?

Yes, we treat your information and results as private and handle them according to strict procedures. Results are only shared with the parties authorized by the order or request, such as your employer, court, or designated program contact. Our staff follows established protocols for storing records and transmitting results, and we discuss with you during check in who will receive the report.

If you have concerns about who can see your results, let us know when you arrive. We will explain how information is handled for your specific type of test. Our goal is to give you confidence that your visit and results are managed with professionalism and respect for your privacy.

Can You Help My Business Set Up An Ongoing Drug Testing Program?

We regularly work with businesses in and around Burlington to create and manage ongoing drug testing programs. This can include guidance as you develop or update a written policy, setting up pre employment and random testing processes, and coordinating post accident or reasonable suspicion testing. We aim to make it easier for your team to stay consistent and compliant without building everything from scratch on your own.

For roles that fall under Department of Transportation regulations, we can assist with required testing components and help you understand how those rules affect your program. By partnering with a dedicated testing center, you get a structured approach to scheduling, documentation, and communication, so you can focus more of your time on your core business operations.

Do You Offer Mobile Or On Site Drug Testing For Groups?

We can provide on site mobile testing for employers and organizations that need to test groups of people or that find it difficult to send staff to an outside facility. This service is often useful for hiring events, large orientation days, or worksites that operate on tight shift schedules. Bringing certified collectors to your location can reduce downtime and help you complete required testing efficiently.

Availability for mobile services can vary based on location, group size, and scheduling needs, so we encourage you to contact us with details about your event or program. Our team will discuss options, timing, and the types of tests that can be performed on site, so you can decide what works best for your workplace.
