Question 1

Why is drug testing part of your outpatient addiction treatment program at Integrity Treatment Partners?

Accepted Answer

Drug testing is a key tool for accountability, tracking progress, and supporting honest recovery. It helps identify potential relapse early, allows our clinicians to adjust your treatment plan promptly, reinforces positive changes, and builds trust between you, your counselor, and the program—all while maintaining a supportive, non-punitive approach at our facility.

Question 2

What types of drug tests do you use at your Nassau County location?

Accepted Answer

We offer both urine tests and oral mouth swab tests. Urine tests provide a longer detection window and comprehensive screening, while mouth swabs are quick, non-invasive, and ideal for recent use detection or when privacy is a concern. The choice depends on your treatment plan and clinical needs.

Question 3

How comprehensive are your drug testing panels?

Accepted Answer

Our panels screen up to 21 substances, including opioids (fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone), benzodiazepines, cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, marijuana (THC), synthetic cannabinoids (K2/Spice), bath salts, and other common drugs of abuse. We stay current with emerging 'hot' substances like fentanyl analogs to ensure accurate monitoring.

Question 4

Are your drug tests instant or lab-confirmed?

Accepted Answer

We perform an initial on-site screening for rapid results during your visit. All positive or questionable results, as well as routine samples, are sent to a certified third-party laboratory for definitive GC/MS or LC/MS confirmation testing. This ensures the highest accuracy and reliability.

Question 5

How often will I be drug tested during treatment?

Accepted Answer

Frequency varies based on your program level (IOP vs. regular outpatient), phase of recovery, and individual plan. Typically, testing occurs weekly or bi-weekly in early stages, then reduces as you demonstrate sustained progress. Random testing may also be used to support accountability.

Question 6

What happens if I test positive for drugs during treatment?

Accepted Answer

A positive test is treated as a clinical opportunity, not punishment. We’ll discuss it openly in counseling, explore triggers, adjust your relapse prevention plan, increase support (e.g., more sessions or MAT review), and work collaboratively to get you back on track—our goal is long-term recovery, not dismissal.

Question 7

Can drug test results be used for court, probation, or employment purposes?

Accepted Answer

Yes—our lab-confirmed results include full chain-of-custody documentation and can be provided for legal, probation, parole, custody, or professional requirements. Let your counselor know in advance so we can prepare the appropriate reporting.

Question 8

How long do different substances stay detectable in urine or mouth swab tests?

Accepted Answer

Detection windows vary by substance, frequency of use, metabolism, and test type: Marijuana (single use): 3–7 days urine, 24–48 hours swab; Marijuana (chronic): up to 30+ days urine, up to 72 hours swab; Opioids (heroin, fentanyl): 2–4 days urine, 24–48 hours swab; Cocaine: 2–4 days urine, 24–48 hours swab; Benzodiazepines: 3–30 days urine (depending on half-life). We provide personalized education during your intake.

Question 9

Is drug testing confidential at Integrity Treatment Partners?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely—all results are protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 federal confidentiality regulations for substance use treatment records. Information is shared only with your direct treatment team or with your written consent (e.g., for court).

Question 10

Can I request a retest if I disagree with a positive result?

Accepted Answer

Yes—if you believe a result is inaccurate (e.g., due to prescribed medication or poppy seeds), we can discuss a retest or additional confirmation. Prescribed medications are documented during intake to avoid false positives.
