Drug Testing Clinic in Frederick, MD

Standard drug testing can be requested for several reasons. Your primary care doctor may request a drug test if an issue with substance abuse is suspected. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers will also use regular drug testing as part of a treatment plan. An employer requesting a drug test for newly hired employees is one of the most common reasons why a drug test is administered.

Standard drug tests will test for a variety of substances, but a typical test will screen for the following: amphetamines, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, marijuana, cocaine, PCP, methadone, and opioids. At times, testing for alcohol needs to be specially requested.

It may become standard practice to have drug testing conducted at your primary care visit. The reason for this change of treatment is to be able to properly diagnosis and treat an ailment, particularly when accurately diagnosing a substance use disorder.

Primary care physicians are leaning towards making drug testing a standard for treatment, especially as controlled substances may be prescribed. The physician is responsible for prescribing controlled substances with caution. For more information, contact us today or schedule an appointment online.
