Drug Testing
What is Drug Testing?
Drug testing is a diagnostic procedure that involves analyzing biological samples to detect the presence of specific substances or their metabolites in the body. These substances may include prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, or illicit substances. By conducting drug tests, our medical team can gather essential information to assess a patient’s overall health, tailor treatment plans, and monitor the effectiveness of prescribed medications.
