But there are several different kinds of drug screens that can be done, and it\u2019s often difficult to know just what is the right one for your situation.&nbsp;<em>One option is an oral drug test, and it\u2019s easy to understand more about this type of drug test and whether or not it\u2019s the right option for your business.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"\/oral-fluid-panels\/\">oral drug test<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>is a test that uses a swab to gather saliva from the subject and then tests that saliva for the presence of drugs. An oral drug test can check for a wide variety of different drugs, and the most common type of swab test is the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/immediate-drug-testing\/\"><strong>five-panel screening<\/strong> <\/a>that tests for THC, cocaine, opiates, and more. However, those who order the test can adjust the drugs being tested for \u2013 though certain drugs may not show up in the saliva at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A swab test is very affordable, costing less than the other types of tests available. It is also easy to administer. But, it will only be able to detect the presence of drugs if they were used within the last 6 to 12 hours. Drugs done days or weeks earlier won\u2019t show up in these screenings, and that is the primary question that you need to ask yourself regarding whether or not this is the right test for your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, an <a href=\"\/oral-fluid-panels\/\"><strong>oral drug test<\/strong> <\/a>is a good call if you need to identify if someone has done drugs within the last few hours \u2013 they\u2019re good for random drug tests or for testing done after an accident to determine if the subject was under the influence when the accident occurred and if the drugs were potentially to blame for the accident. They\u2019re not a good option if the test is being done for a pre-employment screening. Consider this when deciding whether or not you need to use the oral drug test or some other option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses today rely on drug screenings to help them find the right employees, keep their workplace drug free, and more.
