What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're needing to confirm or rule out recent phencyclidine (PCP) use in your system. It's commonly used for personal verification, workplace or legal requirements, or if you or someone you know may have been exposed to this substance. It gives a clear, private answer about whether PCP is present in your blood.

What's included in this test?

This test measures the level of phencyclidine (PCP), a substance that can affect the brain and nervous system, in your blood. Checking for it directly in serum or plasma gives a more precise, real-time picture of recent use compared to some other testing methods.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the value clearly marked along with what counts as a normal (negative) range. If your result comes back positive, the report explains what that means and suggests avoiding further use and, if needed, seeking support resources. You can download the standard lab report anytime from your account, and if you retest in the future, you'll be able to track results over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support recovery after substance exposure?

Staying well hydrated and eating balanced meals can help your body process and clear substances more efficiently. Getting good sleep and reducing stress also supports your nervous system as it recovers. If use was unintentional or you're concerned about dependency, reaching out to a local support group or helpline can make a real difference.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your secure online account. This timeframe allows the lab to run an accurate, detailed analysis of your sample.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who needs to confirm PCP use for personal, legal, or workplace reasons. It's also useful if you're concerned about accidental exposure or want a private way to check your own results without going through a workplace-administered screening.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Signs like confusion, hallucinations, unusual aggression, numbness, or a feeling of detachment from reality can be linked to PCP use. Rapid eye movements, muscle rigidity, or extreme changes in mood are also common indicators. If you or someone nearby is showing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or seizures, seek emergency medical care right away.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means phencyclidine was detected in your blood at the time of testing. This usually indicates recent use, since PCP doesn't stay in the bloodstream for very long. If your result is positive and you weren't expecting it, consider retesting and looking into any possible sources of exposure.

How often should I retest?

Since PCP clears from the blood relatively quickly, retesting timing depends on your specific situation, such as verifying that a substance is no longer in your system. For general monitoring, retesting after a few days from your last known exposure typically gives the clearest picture. Check your order confirmation for any specific retesting guidance related to your situation.

What should I do if my results are positive?

If your result is unexpected or concerning, the first step is avoiding any further exposure to the substance. Consider reaching out to a substance use support line or counseling service if you think use may be becoming a pattern. Retesting later can also help confirm the substance has cleared from your system.
