What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're needing to verify cocaine use or confirm compliance with a treatment or monitoring program. It detects benzoylecgonine, the metabolite your body produces after using cocaine, in a urine sample. It's commonly used for monitoring situations where confirming recent drug use or abstinence matters.

What's included in this test?

This test measures a single target: the cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine, using a precise lab method that confirms both its presence and exact amount in urine. This single-marker approach matters because it's a definitive, hard-to-dispute way to detect recent cocaine use compared to less specific screening methods.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the quantitative value and an explanation of what it means. If your result is positive, next steps depend on your situation - this may mean following up with a monitoring program or retesting per a set schedule. The standard lab report is downloadable anytime from your account, and if you're tested repeatedly you can track results over time using the trends feature.

Who should consider this test?

This test is useful for people enrolled in a monitoring or accountability program, workplaces requiring compliance verification, or anyone who needs documented proof of cocaine use status. It's also used to check that someone in a treatment plan isn't diverting or misusing substances. Legal, employment, and personal accountability situations are all common reasons people order this test.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Because this test uses a detailed lab method (LC/MS/MS) rather than a rapid screen, it takes a bit longer than an instant test but gives a much more precise, quantitative answer. You'll be notified as soon as your results are available in your account.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means benzoylecgonine was detected in your urine, indicating cocaine use within the past few days. The quantitative value shown doesn't tell you the exact dose used, since cocaine is broken down and cleared from the body in complex ways. If the result is unexpected or concerning, retesting or seeking guidance from a monitoring program administrator is a reasonable next step.

What does a negative result mean?

A negative result means no detectable amount of benzoylecgonine was found in your urine sample. This generally suggests no recent cocaine use, though timing matters - very recent use may not show up right away. If ongoing monitoring is required, follow whatever retesting schedule applies to your situation.

How long does cocaine stay detectable in urine?

Cocaine's metabolite is usually detectable in urine for about 2 to 4 days after use, though heavier or more frequent use can extend that window. Individual factors like hydration, metabolism, and kidney function can also affect how long it stays detectable. This is why timing of the test relative to suspected use matters for interpreting results.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on why you're being tested - accountability programs, workplace policies, or personal tracking each have different schedules. Random or unannounced testing is often more effective for monitoring purposes than a fixed schedule. Check with whoever requires your monitoring for the specific cadence that applies to you.

What should I do if my results are unexpected?

If a result doesn't match what you expected, the first step is to check for any factors that could affect accuracy, like recently used medications or products. You can also request a retest to confirm the result. If the situation involves a monitoring program, follow their specific process for addressing unexpected results.
