What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained symptoms that could be linked to drug use, or if you need to confirm whether medications or illicit substances are affecting your body. It's also useful if you or someone else has taken multiple substances at once and you need clarity on what's actually in the system. Many people use this test for legal, workplace, or personal health reasons when a clear answer is needed.

What's included in this test?

This test screens for a broad range of common drugs and substances that could be affecting how you feel or function. Testing multiple substances at once matters because taking more than one drug can hide or change the symptoms each one would normally cause on its own. This gives a clearer, more complete picture than testing for just a single substance.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each substance level explained against its normal reference range. If a result comes back positive or unexpected, the report will help you understand what it means and whether retesting or lifestyle changes make sense. You can download a standard lab report anytime from your account, and if you test again in the future, the trends feature lets you compare results side by side.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who suspects they've been exposed to an unknown substance, needs documentation for legal or employment reasons, or wants a clear read on what's in their system should consider this test. It's also helpful for people managing a loved one's health when substance use is a concern. If you've taken multiple medications or substances together and want to rule out interactions, this test can help.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms like confusion, unusual drowsiness, rapid heart rate, nausea, or behavior changes can sometimes point to substance exposure and may be worth checking. If someone has taken more than one substance and is showing symptoms that don't match a single explanation, testing can help sort things out. Severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or loss of consciousness need emergency care right away, not just a lab test.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification once your report is available in your account. If your situation is time-sensitive, keep in mind that toxicology testing can take a few extra days due to the detailed lab analysis involved.

How often should I retest?

Retesting depends on why you're testing in the first place — for ongoing monitoring, some people retest every few weeks or months. If you're testing after a specific exposure or event, one test is usually enough unless new symptoms appear. Tracking results over time using the trends feature can help you and anyone supporting you see patterns.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If a substance shows up unexpectedly, start by reviewing the reference range and interpretation notes in your report to understand what the level actually means. Consider retesting to confirm the result, especially if timing or recent substance use could explain it. If you're experiencing severe symptoms alongside an abnormal result, seek medical care right away.

What causes an unexpected positive result?

Unexpected positive results can come from prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, certain foods, or secondhand exposure, not just illicit drug use. Some substances can also stay detectable in your system for days or even weeks after use, depending on the drug. If a result surprises you, retesting or reviewing recent medications and exposures can help clarify what happened.

What is a toxicology screen and why does it matter?

A toxicology screen is a blood test that checks for drugs, medications, and other substances that might be affecting how your body works. It matters because symptoms from drug effects can look similar to other health issues, so lab confirmation gives a clearer answer than guessing based on symptoms alone. This is especially useful when someone may have taken more than one substance at a time.
