Types of Drug Tests

SureHire offers 2 drug testing methods:

  1. Express POCT (Point of Care Testing) provides quick, qualitative, same-day delivery.
  2. Lab-Based Testing provides quantitative, court-admissible test results in 2-5 business days.

There are a variety of testing types to choose from, including:

  • Urine drug testing. This is the preferred method for substance detection because it offers expanded testing panels, accurate test results, and the ability to obtain a snapshot of recent drug use.
  • Oral fluid drug testing. This is the referred method for post-incident or reasonable suspicion situations because it provides a short window for substance detection with minimal potential for adulteration. This drug screen option is extremely convenient as there are very few limitation as to where this test can be administered.
  • Hair follicle testing. This is the preferred method for follow-up testing because it can be used to detect historical drug use. This type of testing can be completed only through a lab. (Note: a minimum of 1.5 inches of hair must be collected to perform hair follicle testing.)

Types of Alcohol Tests

SureHire offers 2 types of alcohol tests:

  1. Breath alcohol testing. This is the most common method used to detect alcohol impairment. This testing method offers accurate, court-admissible, same-day test results. All SureHire technicians are certified to complete Breath Alcohol testing using DOT (Department of Transportation) approved technology.
  2. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) testing. This is a non-oxidative minor metabolite of ethanol formed within the body after alcohol consumption. We offer EtG testing through lab-based testing only. EtG testing can be added to any 5, 8 or 13-panel urine lab drug test or tested for separately.

MRO’s are independent and impartial and advocate for the accuracy and integrity of the drug testing process. They can determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation for laboratory confirmed positive results.
* SureHire’s MRO’s are certified by the American Association of Medical Review Officers.
