What do most urine drug screens test for?

Answer 1

That would depend on the agency requesting the screening. Drug testing is very expensive and each additional drug they add to the list makes it even more expensive. When I was in the military and we did mass urine testings they would only check maybe 1 out of 5 at the lab. Most test the basics which are THC (Marijuana) and Amphetamines. If you are in Law Enforcement they may go even deeper. During testing, prescription drugs may show up so be prepared to explain this.

Answer 2

If you are doing a stanard drug test, it is called "The NIDA 5"

1. Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash)
2. Cocaine (cocaine, crack, benzoylecognine)
3. Amphetamines (amphetamines, methamphetamines, speed)
4. Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)
5. Phencyclidine (PCP)

Unless you are doing some strange job or etc. then they might do an Expanded Tests

1. Barbiturates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Butalbital)
2. Hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin)
3. Methaqualone (Qualuudes)
4. Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax, Rohypnol)
5. Methadone
6. Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds)
7. Ethanol (Alcohol)
8. MDMA (Ecstasy)

Additional Testables
In addition, there are a few other substances which it is possible but quite unusual to test for. I only found reference to testing for these additional substances at 1 (out of 15) drug testing sites :

1. LSD
2. Tryptamines (Psilocybin, AMT, DMT, DPT, 5-MeO-DiPT)
3. Phenethylamines (Mescaline, MDMA, MDA, MDE, 2C-B, 2C-T-7)
4. Inhalents (Toluene, Xylene, Benzene)

side note police will do the first 5 + everything in the extended test.
