Prescription Drug Testing

Most people take prescription medications responsibly; however, an estimated 48 million people have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. This represents approximately 20% of the U.S. population1. The liability issue is tremendous and may damage the lives of employees or patients, your facility's reputation, and revenue.

Now your agency has the opportunity to choose a new testing option from RTL, one of America's premier drug testing labs. The solution is Comprehensive Drug Testing. This test detects a wide-range of addictive prescriptions, illicit drugs, and alcohol in urine. RTL screens and confirms drugs using the "gold standard" in testing—gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

Features:

  • Detects over 600 brand name prescription drugs, illicit drugs,
    and alcohol (specimen validity included)
  • Includes expanded list of opiates/narcotics
  • High specificity—GC/MS analysis provides confirmative
    evidence of use
  • Highly sensitive—includes quantitative, semi-quantitative, or
    qualitative test result data
  • Qualified scientific team and committed support staff
  • Secure and reliable toxicology reporting

Benefits:

  • Limit workplace liability and employee costs
  • Ideal for nursing/physician workplace testing
  • Well-suited for treatment admittance and monitoring
  • Determine compliance of pain medication patient

RTL utilizes the most sophisticated, sensitive, and specific equipment and technology available. Confirmations of all presumptive positive samples are performed from a separate urine aliquot. The Comprehensive Drug Test utilizes an optimal method of extraction and GC/MS analysis for each individual drug.
