It is used in clinical, workplace, legal, and safety-sensitive contexts to provide objective information about recent or ongoing exposure to certain drugs.
About Drug Testing in Pharr
Drug testing screens for and, when needed, confirms the presence of drugs or their breakdown products in the body.
Most drug tests begin with an immunoassay screen that reacts to a class of compounds, such as opioids, cannabinoids, amphetamines, cocaine metabolites, or benzodiazepines. A screen result that is not negative is typically followed by a more specific confirmatory method, most often gas chromatography–mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.
Samples can include urine, blood, oral fluid, or hair, and each matrix carries different detection windows and interpretive limits. Urine is the most common because it is noninvasive and captures recent use, while blood reflects active circulating levels and hair can indicate a longer historical pattern of exposure.
Results are reported as negative, positive, or, in some cases, inconclusive, with the cutoff concentrations used by the laboratory stated on the report. Positive results are generally reviewed by a medical review officer or qualified toxicologist to determine whether a legitimate prescription or other explanation applies before the result is finalized.
