Standard Drugs of Abuse

Toxicology | Standard Drugs of Abuse

Our laboratory is proud to offer a continuously expanding testing menu to assist with all of your diagnostic/toxicology needs. Through urinalysis, we utilize the most advanced technology to identify and quantify common prescription medications and screen for illicit drug use.

Our objective is to provide our clients with convenient testing, detailed results, and a fast turnaround time that you can rely on. We provide drug-testing programs for healthcare providers with patients that are at risk, currently in crisis, or on the road to recovery from substance use. Routine urinalysis allows for the detection of illicit or unauthorized drugs that may not have been disclosed by the patient. With opioid painkillers representing a key element of pain management, urinalysis is critical for healthcare providers to ensure that patients are adhering to their treatment plans. Furthermore, drug testing increases patient safety by preventing possible harmful drug interactions and adverse reactions before they occur. Efficient and accurate drug testing is essential in forming accurate diagnosis, monitoring treatment adherence and creating a plan to facilitate the successful recovery of each patient.

Kashi Toxicology provides comprehensive prescription pain medication monitoring services, including same day results for urgent cases.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is an agency responsible for establishing the Mandatory Guidelines for Workplace Drug Testing Programs for federally regulated employees. These guidelines define which drugs are included in the program, what cutoffs are used to determine a positive versus negative test result, and other testing and collection criteria. Many facilities who perform drug testing for pre-employment screening, on-going employment screening, pain management clinical monitoring, addiction recovery treatment or criminal justice programs follow SAMHSA guidelines.
