Drug of Abuse Testing (DAT)

Drugs-of-Abuse screening has been done over more than 40 years; the reason behind the test request can be very diverse, below some examples:

  • Emergency Room to identify unknown substances that cause an suspected intoxication;
  • Prisons to ensure ‘Drug Free Wings’;
  • Work Place Drug Testing to ensure a safe working environment;
  • Road Side Drug Testing to reveal driving under the influence;/li>
  • Hospital to monitor newborn babies with addicted mothers;
  • Sports to ensure drug- and doping free sports events;
  • Clinical medication trials to ensure drug free volunteers to prevent possible medication interactions and to guarantee a reliable outcome of the study.

And ‘last but not least’ as part of a drug and/or alcohol withdrawal programme, to check if patients are abstinent and to provide motivational feedback during the withdrawal phase and the reintegration period.
