US Drug Test Centers, with more than 20,000 locations nationwide, simplifies the process for both employers and individuals to manage their drug and alcohol testing requirements. However, what if you're unable to reach one of our testing centers? Or perhaps you prefer a more tailored approach?

Mobile drug testing offers the answer. Mobile drug testing delivers the service directly to your location. Our team comes to you, equipped with all the necessary tools to perform a quick and precise drug or alcohol test. It's a cost-effective, efficient, and swift option, eliminating the need to travel or wait in queues at a facility!

As an alternative to traditional on-site testing, mobile drug testing is ideal for post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing. These services are available around the clock with a response time from our collectors set at two hours. Whether it's a reasonable suspicion situation late at night or a post-accident situation early in the morning, mobile drug testing provides a convenient solution.

What Does the Process for Mobile Drug Testing Look Like?

Whether you're an existing US Drug Test Centers client or not, our mobile drug testing process is easy and convenient.

If you're already a client, you can:

  1. Request on-site mobile collection service to be added to your account. You will submit a one-time protocol form when setting up this service.
  2. Set up a social on-site pricing with your account.
  3. Receive supplies, such as on-site testing packets for emergency use, custody and control forms (CCFs), and instructions and protocol forms.
  4. Be provided a CCF if your employee does not have one at the time of testing.
  5. Access a special 24/7 1-800 dispatch phone number for guidance and support when needed.
  6. Expect a testing technician to arrive on-site for testing within two hours of calling the dispatch number.
  7. Receive a discounted rate for scheduled events.

If you are not yet a US Drug Test Centers client, we still provide an easy process to arrange on-site mobile alcohol or drug testing for emergency or scheduled events. To get set up:

How Mobile Drug Testing Can Come In Handy

Mobile drug testing by US Drug Test Centers provides many benefits for your business

First, our technicians will travel to where your employee is located to complete the testing process. If there are no restrooms on-site, the collection will take place as close as possible to your employee's location. This means you don't have to lose time and productivity when you send employees to a lab. We will come to your office or facility, or a remote job site.

Similarly, post-accident drug and alcohol testing should be done as soon as possible. The DOT requires this testing for accidents that meet the DOT criteria, while insurance companies need the testing to be done as soon as possible for non-DOT post-accidents and workers comp cases. This means no matter what time you need the testing, you'll be covered.

In addition, mobile testing is convenient if you need reasonable suspicion testing. This occurs when you believe your employee is impaired or under the influence. This is crucial because you'll need to ensure the testing can be completed as soon as possible to document the potential use of illicit substances.

Lastly, mobile testing is handy when you need sweep testing for reasonable suspicion. This happens when there is potential theft or drug use at a workplace facility.

Emergency Vs. Scheduled Testing

Emergency on-site collections are tests that are scheduled less than 10 business days in advance. You will automatically be established with a 24-hour emergency testing account, accompanied by a protocol form that you can use for scheduling and dispatching.

Conversely, planned testing is characterized by pre-arranged on-site specimen gathering that is planned at least 10 business days prior. This implies that you are ready to conduct a test on an individual at any time, particularly if there's a possibility of a job offer being presented. Likewise, you can organize a planned testing session to ensure that both pre-employment and random testing are completed simultaneously.

Save time and money by arranging your company's mobile on-site testing with US Drug Test Centers. As an expert in drug and alcohol testing services with over 20,000 collection sites, we offer employee testing nationwide, in all areas of the country.
