Drugs of Abuse
Drugs of abuse testing detects residues of certain drugs or their metabolites in body fluids. Sonic Healthcare has been performing drug testing in clinical and workplace settings for many years.
In the clinical setting, drug testing is useful in establishing client compliance with drug-related programmes.
In the workplace setting, drug testing forms part of the process of achieving a safer workplace. It is relevant in industries or specific occupations where drug use may affect an employee’s ability to carry out duties safely.
