Understanding Drug Test Results
Reading drug test results can feel overwhelming at first, but don’t worry – it’s simpler than you might think. Most quick-test kits use easy-to-read coloured lines, while lab reports break everything down in detail.
Here’s a crucial tip: if you’re testing for work or legal reasons, always get your results confirmed by a professional lab. Home tests work great for personal use, but they won’t stand up in court or satisfy most employers’ requirements.
Want to ensure accurate results? Timing matters more than you’d expect. Different substances stay detectable for varying periods – anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on what you’re testing for and which method you use. For instance, cannabis typically shows up in urine tests for 3-30 days after use, while cocaine usually clears within 2-4 days.
Not sure about interpreting your results? Give us a call. Our team can walk you through the basics without getting too technical. We’re here to help you understand what those lines, numbers, or lab reports actually mean.
