Tips to Help You Pass A Drug Test

Facing the challenge of trying to understand how to pass a drug test can be really daunting if you do not have the all of the answers you need to the questions you have.  Having the answers to the most common testing questions can not only bring a certain peace of mind and confidence, but these answers can also help you to successfully pass your drug test.   Take the time to review the following questions and answers.

• For How Long Can Drugs be Detected in a Drug Test? – Toxins can stay in your body from anywhere between several hours to a many months.  The length of time can also depend on the types and amounts of impurities absorbed by your body, the duration of your use, as well as your rate of metabolism, general health, and also several other personal factors.  The type of drug test you are facing also has be big factor on how long drugs can be detected in your system.  For example, drug detection with Blood Drug Test – detection times are measured in hours. You can get a full breakdown of drug detection times by going to our other blog post on this topic.

• Are Some Tests More Sensitive Than Others? – Yes.  Like most products, the quality and the target market of the tests can effect the sensitivity of the drug test.  Different tests accept different cut-off values for detecting a substance in your body.  Where one test might fail, another will give you a pass and there is no way to know which tests will be administered.  There are Government standards, but only those being tested by a group that adheres to these standards need follow these more stringent (expensive) standards.

• Can Any Tests Determine Exactly When A Drug Was Consumed? – Neither the Saliva or swab test, blood test or urine drug test will tell a tester when a drug was used. A hair tests can but these are not commonly used in Australia.

• Are Some People More Prone To Failing? – Yes, some people are more prone to collect and store toxins in their systems.
  • Amount and frequency of use:   Single, isolated or small doses are usually less likely to be detected.
  • Long-Term & chronic use:  Depending on the drug may result in much longer drug detection times.  People with a higher level of fat in their system or people who have a low level of activity can also see longer detection times.

• What Drugs Do They Typically Test For?– All tests are available in a range of different configurations and it is virtually impossible to know in advance exactly which drugs you will be tested for.  So the bad news is that you will never know which combination of tests will be administered beforehand.  To this end you should assume the worst and plan on being tested for the BIG 10 which are:
  • 1. Amphetamines
    2. Methamphetamines
    3. Cocaine
    4. Marijuana
    5. Opiates
    6. Barbiturates
    7. Benzoziazepines
    8. Phencyclidine (PCP)
    9. Methadone
    10. Ecstasy

The bottom line is you can never tell.   A safe rule of thumb is: if you are concerned about a particular contaminate, you can bet the testers will test for that specific drug or medication.

• What If I Do Not Know When The Drug Test Will Be Administered? – Random testing is a big problem and addressing it has no real good answer.  SURPRISE is the plan of the testers and it is very effective system.  This is  why random drug testing is more and more common in workplaces these days.  Thankfully, most tests will be announced in advance and you can take action to minimize your risk.  If you are not given notice, substituting with a good brand of Synthetic Urine may be your only hope.  Many testers are beginning to use the Saliva Drug Test for random testing as this test can be administered at anytime or any place by relatively unskilled individuals.  Urine and Blood test products need a minimum of one hour action on your part to reach maximum protection. Our  products for the saliva tests are effective immediately after using the product.

Can Prescription or Over-The-Counter Products Cause Me To Fail? – Be aware that certain foods, and many prescription and over the counter medications can cause you to test “positive” for various kinds of drugs, read our article on false positive drug tests.  One example that was recently shown to cause a false positive on the Discovery Channel TV Show “Myth Busters” was eating bagels with poppy seeds and testing positive for opium.

What Do I Do If I Fail A Drug Test? Drug tests are sometimes unreliable for a variety of reasons.  It could be the tester made a mistake, the test device iis bad or you might have a positive reaction for a over the counter medication or even food.  Many people who have never used drugs have tested positive for drugs.  You should act/be surprised and ask for a retest .  Many testers will likely allow you to take the test again.  This is the time to have your documention in place for prescription medications or over the counter medications that might have caused you to fail.
