Are DOT drug screens different from regular drug screens?

  • Yes, DOT drug screens follow specific regulations and guidelines set by the DOT, which are more stringent than regular drug screens. The DOT drug screen requires a specific chain of custody and specific testing panels that must be followed to comply with DOT regulations. However, Vitality Urgent Care also offer regular non DOT drug screening services.

Can I take a DOT drug screen if I am on prescription medication?

  • Yes, you can take a DOT drug screen while on prescription medication, but it’s important to disclose any medications you are taking to the testing facility. Some medications may cause a positive result on the drug screen, but the testing facility can differentiate between prescription medications and illegal drugs.

Can I request a different type of drug test for my employees?

  • While the DOT requires safety-sensitive employees to undergo DOT drug screens, employers may choose to conduct additional drug tests beyond the DOT requirements. It’s important to check with your employer or the DOT to determine your specific testing requirements.
