In child custody cases, the most critical factor that a judge will consider is the health, living conditions, the physical safety and well-being of a child. When a judge is forced to make decisions about the custody of a child, where a child should live and who can visit or associate with that child; a judge will consider each parent’s living arrangements, employment status, lifestyle, past criminal violations, drug use, and other factors.

Individuals suspected of, convicted of, or pleading to a driving while intoxicated (DWI/DUI) charge will often be required to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing. Driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI), is the crime of operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs (including recreational and prescription drugs), to a level that renders the driver incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely. Individuals who receive multiple DUI offenses are likely struggling with alcoholism or substance abuse and will require ongoing drug and alcohol testing.
If you were involved in a DUI or DWI case, you might be required to take an alcohol or drug test for court, probation, or other legal reasons. US Drug Test Centers can provide you with different types of alcohol testing quickly and conveniently at one of our more than 20,000 collection sites nationwide.
There are multiple methods to accurately screen for alcohol use, such as:
US Drug Test Centers can also test for Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) or ethanol. When you are ordering your test, please specify which type of alcohol test you would like.
Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of ethanol. It is the primary biomarker used to detect ethanol, an ingredient found in beer, wine, and liquor produced by the fermentation of yeast, sugars, and starches. An Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) test is widely used to detect the presence of ethyl glucuronide, a product of ethanol, which is the intoxicating ingredient in alcohol. The primary purpose of an EtG test is to confirm that an individual has refrained from alcohol use, more often than not as a condition of the courts or substance abuse rehabilitation programs.
Breath alcohol testing is by far the most common method used to detect recent alcohol consumption. Widely used in employment substance abuse screening programs and by law enforcement in Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) instances, breath alcohol testing can determine the current impairment or intoxication.
Breath alcohol testing is performed by a trained breath alcohol technician (BAT) using an Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) device. An analysis of your exhaled breath, using a breathalyzer will provide a numerical value for your blood alcohol level (BAC) based on the concentration of alcohol in a portion of your exhaled air.

Court-ordered drug and alcohol testing for probation is standard with federal probation, county probation, and drug courts across the United States. Periodic probation drug testing is usually court-mandated for offenders who are granted the opportunity for probation versus serving jail time. With probation drug testing, a drug court, probation officer, or parole officer may require drug testing if it’s uncertain that an individual will remain free from illegal substance use or alcohol abuse, to comply with the terms of a criminal sentencing agreement. Programs often depend on your history, compliance with any requirements or terms, and trust with your probation officer; all of which will help determine how often they'll drug test you. If there is any suspicion of your activity, a parole officer may elect to drug test you every time you come in.
Your probation officer will provide guidance on what test you should order, or in most cases will require an individual to take a specific testing panel. Courts most often use urine, hair, breath, or blood to screen for drug and alcohol use.
Probation drug and alcohol testing may often be required by courts to include random testing. Court-ordered testing may be conducted randomly or on a scheduled basis. Typically, probationary testing is conducted at random to prevent the probationer from preparing for the test by flushing their system, substituting a sample, or planning to adulterate the specimen. In many situations, a mix of both random and regular testing is most effective.
When using US Drug Test Centers for your probation or court-ordered drug testing, you can be confident that we will send results to your probation officer or court officer. We can also send you a copy of your results.
