Substance Abuse Testing
No business or governmental entity today is immune to the problems associated with the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Substance abuse contributes to on-the-job accidents, lower productivity, greater absenteeism, higher healthcare costs, and heightened threats to the health and safety of employees.
Kroll helps organizations, institutions, companies, and government agencies reduce these risks by performing urine substance-abuse testing and other related services to detect and deter substance abuse. Kroll combines the industry’s standard testing methodologies with our expertise to ensure clients receive accurate results along with service and support, maintaining an effective and efficient testing program.

How We Test
Kroll’s substance abuse testing is a state-of-the-art dual testing process. Initial screening is performed through immunoassay, and all non-negative test results are confirmed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). This testing methodology is recognized by scientists and the courts as being the definitive method to verify a test result, and the combined process has allowed numerous court cases to uphold employer actions based upon it.How Results Are Delivered
