About Drug Testing in Castle Rock
A drug test is a laboratory method for detecting drugs or their breakdown products in a sample.
Most drug tests use urine, though blood, saliva, and hair are also analyzed. Each specimen has different detection windows and strengths: urine is common for broad screening, blood reflects very recent exposure, saliva is useful for recent use, and hair can indicate use over a longer period.
Screening immunoassays provide a rapid initial result. A non-negative screen is typically confirmed with a more specific method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry before a result is considered definitive.
Results are reported as negative, positive, or inconclusive, often with the cutoff concentration and the substances detected. Interpretation depends on the panel ordered, the lab's cutoff values, and any prescribed medications or legitimate exposures that may explain a finding.
