Drugs of Abuse Testing
Ordering the Right Test at the Right Time,
and What Does it Mean?
Interpretation
September 2009
Now we’re going to get into a little bit of the nitty gritty here of drug screen interpretation. When a drug screen is positive, and the confirmation test is positive, it pretty much is obvious that the drug indicated in the report was detected at or above the cutoff value that is also indicated in the report. That’s probably the easiest one to figure out. The individual was exposed to the drug.
But, remember, it doesn’t tell you when.
