The Opioid Crisis has impacted the state of Illinois in a devastating fashion. According to recent statistics, "Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) data shows 2,278 drug-related overdose deaths during 2016. This represents a 44.3 percent increase over the 1,579 drug-related overdose deaths that were reported."
Illinois has attempted to address the issue of Drug and Alcohol deaths and especially opiates in a variety of fashions including the establishment of Illinois Public Act 096-0361 which allowed non-medical persons to administer Naloxone, a medication to prevent heroin overdoses from becoming fatal. Subsequently, the Illinois Public Act 097-0687 or "Good Samaritan law" ensured that those providing assistance and those receiving it wouldn't be persecuted for felony possession (within limits).
While these laws and others help to respond to the drug crisis, there is an acute need or preventative services such as the drug and alcohol testing offered by US Drug Test Centers. We provide immediate service and same day testing for individuals and companies in all of Illinois. Our drug testing services include testing urine and hair, as well as EtG alcohol test.

In Illinois, employers can save money with drug testing because the state has decided to make Workers Compensation benefits more challenging to get for those who may be inebriated on the job. The state has approved the "Presumptive Denial Law", which means if you test positive for drugs or alcohol, you are declined your workers' compensation benefits. According to the ruling, it must be confirmed that inebriation is indeed the "proximate cause" of the worker's injuries or that the employee was "so inebriated at the time of the injury that the intoxication was a parting from occupation."
Drug and alcohol testing must be directed according to the National Labor Relations Board or Department of Transportation guidelines. If the worker declines to take the test, he is assumed guilty of being intoxicated on the job. The employee has the right to petition. If he has a prescription for the drugs that may have produced the inebriation, then he must present it in his defense. He can try to validate that being intoxicated alone was not the sole cause of the injury.
