Saliva drug and alcohol screening

Saliva drug and alcohol testing is growing in popularity, especially for workplace, healthcare, and correctional settings. This method allows for immediate sample collection and fast results, typically within 5-10 minutes. However, care must be taken to ensure that enough saliva is collected, as dry samples can lead to failed tests. Saliva drug tests are particularly useful for screening multiple drugs (up to 13 in one test) and now often include alcohol testing.

Important points about saliva drug testing

Saliva drug tests have a shorter detection window than urine tests, especially for substances like cannabis. While cannabis can be detected in urine for days, saliva tests may turn negative within hours, especially if the mouth has been cleaned or food has been consumed. This is because saliva tests detect the parent drug, not its metabolites.

Drug & alcohol testing for parents

Drug testing kits for home use have been available for years and are increasingly used by parents to monitor drug and alcohol use within families. Alcohol screening can easily be done using breathalysers or saliva tests, making it simple to check teenagers' alcohol levels after a night out. Multi-panel urine drug test kits are recommended for parents as they screen for a wide range of substances, are very reliable, and are easy to use and will detect Cannabis for much longer.

Drug driving tests 

In the UK, drug driving became a criminal offense in 2015, similar to driving under the influence of alcohol. The new legislation and roadside drug tests made it easier for law enforcement to catch and prosecute offenders.
