Toxicology Screening
What is a Toxicology Screen?
A toxicology screen is laboratory testing used to detect drugs and their metabolites in a patient specimen. Toxicology testing may be used by healthcare providers to support medication monitoring, treatment decisions, and compliance with prescribed therapies. Legacy Laboratories provides toxicology screening and confirmation testing with a focus on accurate, reliable, and timely results.
How Does It Work?
Toxicology testing detects drugs and their metabolites in a patient specimen. Screening provides an initial assessment, while confirmation testing provides more specific identification of detected substances.
Legacy Laboratories provides comprehensive toxicology testing to support healthcare providers and treatment programs with medication monitoring, drug detection, and informed clinical decision making.
Our toxicology testing can detect a broad range of prescribed medications, controlled substances, illicit drugs, and their metabolites. Testing options can be customized based on the needs of healthcare providers and treatment programs.
Why Do I Need a Toxicology Screen?
Toxicology testing may be ordered by a healthcare provider to support medication monitoring, treatment programs, and other clinical needs. Testing can help providers identify prescribed medications, controlled substances, illicit drugs, and their metabolites to support informed treatment decisions.
Toxicology testing may also be used to help assess medication adherence and monitor patients who are prescribed controlled substances.
