Toxicology Services
Accurate Testing. Informed Care. Safer Recovery.
Understanding what’s in your body is the first step toward healing, safety, and better decision-making. Toxicology services provide accurate, timely analysis of substances in the body—helping guide treatment decisions, monitor progress, and support safety for individuals, families, healthcare providers, and employers.
Whether you’re undergoing addiction treatment, need medical monitoring, or require documentation for legal or workplace purposes, our toxicology testing is fast, confidential, and backed by professional medical support.
What Are Toxicology Services?
Toxicology refers to the scientific analysis of bodily fluids (such as urine, blood, saliva, or hair) to detect the presence of drugs, alcohol, poisons, or other toxic substances. This data plays a critical role in:
Addiction and recovery treatment plans
Mental health and psychiatric evaluations
Workplace drug testing and compliance
Emergency medical diagnostics
Legal and forensic cases
At our facility, we provide comprehensive toxicology screening and interpretation to support safe and effective care.
Our Toxicology Services Include:
✅ Urine Drug Testing (UDT)
The most common and non-invasive form of toxicology testing. Detects recent use of:
Opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine)
Benzodiazepines
Amphetamines & methamphetamine
Cannabis (THC)
Cocaine
Alcohol
Prescription medications (e.g., Suboxone, gabapentin)
✅ Saliva (Oral Fluid) Drug Testing
Quick and reliable—often used in workplace, outpatient, or forensic settings for immediate screening.
✅ Hair Follicle Testing
Used to detect long-term substance use (up to 90 days). Common for legal, court-ordered, or employer-required documentation.
✅ Blood Toxicology Panels
Used in urgent care or hospital settings to identify current intoxication levels or overdoses.
✅ Medical Toxicology Consultation
We provide clinical interpretation of test results to assist in diagnosis, treatment planning, or emergency intervention, especially in psychiatric or addiction-related care.

Who Can Benefit from Toxicology Testing?
Toxicology services are useful for a variety of individuals and organizations, including:
Mental health patients (to rule out or monitor substance-related symptoms)
Addiction and recovery clients (monitoring relapse or treatment adherence)
Employers and HR departments (pre-employment, random, or post-incident screening)
Parents or family members seeking clarity for loved ones
Legal and forensic professionals (court-mandated or custody evaluations)
Healthcare providers managing pain medications or psychiatric care

Why Toxicology Matters in Mental Health & Addiction Treatment
Substance use can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms like anxiety, depression, psychosis, or mood swings. That’s why accurate toxicology results are essential for:
Correct diagnosis and medication management
Detecting drug interactions or misuse
Building trust in therapeutic relationships
Monitoring relapse in addiction treatment
Creating safe, personalized treatment plans
Our clinic works collaboratively with therapists, psychiatrists, case managers, and treatment teams to ensure results are used constructively—not punitively.
