What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're being monitored for heroin use, whether as part of a treatment program, a workplace requirement, or a personal accountability check. It detects 6-Monoacetylmorphine, the substance your body makes only after using heroin, so it's a very specific way to confirm recent use. It's also useful if you need to document compliance with a treatment or recovery plan.

How should I prepare for this test?

How can I naturally support recovery after stopping heroin use? Focusing on good hydration, consistent sleep, and balanced nutrition can help your body recover and may support more stable, accurate future testing results. Gentle physical activity and stress-reduction practices like walking or breathing exercises can also help ease withdrawal-related discomfort. These lifestyle steps don't replace treatment support but can help you feel more grounded during recovery.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account as either positive or negative, with an explanation of what the cutoff level means and why. If your result is positive, next steps might include reaching out to a treatment or recovery program and discussing testing frequency going forward. Your standard lab report is available to download from your account at any time, and if you test regularly you can track results over time using the trends feature.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically available within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Because a positive screening result gets automatically double-checked with a more precise confirmation method (LC/MS/MS), turnaround can occasionally take a bit longer for positive samples. You'll see your results posted directly in your online account as soon as they're finalized.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone in a monitored treatment or recovery program, individuals subject to workplace or legal drug testing requirements, and people who want to independently document their drug-free status. It's also relevant for households or family members who want objective information about a loved one's substance use pattern.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Signs that might prompt this test include needle marks, unexplained drowsiness or nodding off, pinpoint pupils, mood or behavior changes, or missing prescription pain medications in the house. If you or someone you know is showing withdrawal symptoms like sweating, anxiety, or muscle aches after suspected heroin use, this test can help confirm recent use.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means 6-Monoacetylmorphine was detected above the cutoff level, which specifically indicates heroin use within the past couple of days, since this metabolite doesn't stick around in the body very long. It does not tell you how much heroin was used or how often, just that use occurred recently. If you get a positive result, connecting with a treatment or recovery resource is a practical next step.

What does a negative result mean?

A negative result means the metabolite was below the detectable cutoff, which usually means no recent heroin use, or that too much time passed since use for the metabolite to still be present. Because 6-Monoacetylmorphine clears from urine quickly, a negative result only reflects a short recent window, not someone's long-term drug use history. If timing is a concern, more frequent testing gives a fuller picture.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on the purpose: treatment or recovery programs often call for testing multiple times per month, while workplace or personal monitoring might only require occasional checks. Because heroin metabolites clear the body within a couple of days, more frequent testing gives a more accurate picture of ongoing use patterns. Regular, scheduled testing tends to be more reliable than one-off tests.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result comes back positive, the most important next step is connecting with an addiction treatment or recovery resource, since heroin use carries serious health risks including overdose. If you or someone else is showing signs of overdose such as slowed or stopped breathing, extreme drowsiness, or unresponsiveness, seek emergency medical care right away. For ongoing monitoring, keep a record of results using the trends feature in your account.
