Common Questions
Answers from the screenings4u FAQ library.
These questions are based on currently published FAQ content in the screenings4u Supabase project.
How do I order a drug or alcohol test?
Choose the service you need and continue through checkout. After the order is confirmed, you receive the information needed to complete the test. If you are unsure which service applies, contact the screenings4u team before ordering.
Do you have collection sites nationwide?
Yes. screenings4u coordinates testing through a nationwide collection-site network. Site availability varies by service and ZIP code, so the assigned or available location is confirmed as part of ordering and scheduling.
How long do laboratory drug-test results take?
Many negative laboratory drug-test results are available within approximately 2–3 business days after the laboratory receives the specimen. Non-negative results, confirmatory testing, MRO review, shipping, weekends, holidays, or incomplete information can extend the timeline.
What drugs are included in a DOT drug test?
Under 49 CFR Part 40, DOT laboratories test for marijuana metabolites, cocaine metabolites, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP).
When does FMCSA-required drug and alcohol testing occur?
FMCSA-regulated testing includes pre-employment controlled-substances testing and, when applicable, random, reasonable-suspicion, post-accident, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing.
How can I get help with an order or result?
Call (773) 245-7009 or use the contact page. For privacy and security, do not send sensitive test results or identification documents through ordinary email unless instructed to use an approved secure method.
