Urgent Care Drug Testing Clinic Q&A

There are several different reasons someone would need a drug test done. Below is a bit of a list of reasons and a short explanation for each:

• Pre-employment testing is often necessary for new employees or current employees taking on new responsibilities
• The Dept. of Transportation (DOT) requires that people who need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) get tested for drugs and alcohol
• An occupational medicine provider like Priority Urgent Care may partner with an employer to help promote and provide a safe and healthy work environment, and drug/alcohol testing may be a part of this
• Worker’s Compensation (WC) injuries and claims may necessitate drug or alcohol testing
• Individual patients and patients’ parents may want or need to be tested for various reasons
• Forsyth County Drug Court patients can get tested for drug or alcohol addiction

There may be another reason you need drug or alcohol testing. You can call our clinic if you believe you may need a test done.

There are some rare instances when a drug test gives a false positive result. A false positive happens when a test indicates drug use even though the person isn’t using any drugs. If a false positive happens, you should retake the drug test to make sure you get an accurate result. Contact our clinic to learn more on this subject.

We provide tests for the reasons we listed and others, so you can come to see us if you need a test for work, driving, addiction, or any other reason. Some of the common tests we offer are:

• Urine drug screening
• Random drug testing
• DOT tests
• Federal drug testing
• Breath alcohol testing (BAT)
