What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing a positive result from an initial opiate screening and need to confirm whether it's accurate. Screening tests can sometimes show false positives due to certain foods or medications, so this confirmation test provides a more precise, detailed check. It's commonly used for personal verification, employment requirements, or legal purposes.

How should I prepare for this test?

See the pre-collection instructions on your order confirmation.

What's included in this test?

This is a confirmation test, meaning it uses a more precise lab method to verify opiate substances found in an initial screening. It checks for the actual presence of opiate compounds in your system rather than just a general indication, giving you a more reliable and specific answer.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a positive or negative result means. If your result confirms the presence of opiates, consider reviewing any medications or supplements that could explain it and think about next steps like retesting if needed. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account at any time. If you test again in the future, the trends feature lets you compare results side by side.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. This slightly longer turnaround is because confirmation testing uses more detailed lab methods than a standard screening. You'll receive a notification as soon as your results are available in your account.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who received a positive result on an initial opiate screening and wants to confirm its accuracy should consider this test. It's also useful for people who need documented, precise results for employment, legal, or personal health reasons. If you take prescription pain medication and want to verify what's showing up in your system, this test can help clarify that.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

You typically wouldn't take this test based on symptoms alone — it's specifically meant to follow up on a positive screening result. However, if you're concerned about unexplained drowsiness, unusual reactions to medication, or want documentation of substance use for personal or legal reasons, this confirmation test provides clarity. It's a next step rather than a first step.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency depends on your specific situation, such as workplace policies, legal requirements, or personal monitoring needs. If you're tracking prescription medication use over time, periodic retesting can help you stay on top of any changes. For one-time verification purposes, a single confirmation test is usually enough.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your confirmation test comes back positive, think about any medications, supplements, or foods you've recently taken that could explain the result. Keep a record of any prescriptions you're taking, since some pain medications naturally contain opiate compounds. If the result is unexpected or concerning, and you're experiencing symptoms like extreme drowsiness or difficulty breathing, seek medical care right away.

What causes a positive opiate result?

A positive result usually means opiate compounds like morphine, codeine, or related substances were detected in your system. This can come from prescription pain medications, certain cough syrups, or in some cases, illicit substance use. Poppy seed consumption has also been known to cause trace positive results in rare cases, which is part of why confirmation testing exists.
