how many days does it take to get the results of a drug test?

Question

ONLY ANSWER THE QUESTION IF YOU HONESTLY KNOW!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

By the next day the results are released. In case of emergency with in the hour. If you gave a specimen and it is taking days, that usually means they found some thing and are running additional test.

I do HR work and send people all the time to do drug test.

Answer 2

Depending on what you are testing for, it can take only a few hours. I have seen patients, mostly teenagers, who are brought in to the ER (emergency room) delirious and incoherent. In these situations, a toxic screen is always performed. The reason is simple, doctors need to know what drugs were taken so the right antidote can be given. The results are usually back with a hour or two at the most. The toxic screen only tests a few drugs, such as: acetametophen, alcohol, opiods, herion and BZD (e,g, Valium)
.
In a hospital, results from a drug test are usually available within 24 hours. In a doctor's office, the results will probably take a few days, maybe a week. Doctor's offices do not have their own in-house laboratory. So, they usually use an outside lab like Quest Labs.
