8-Panel Drug Test
The 8-Panel Drug Test adds methadone to the already broad screening list found in the 7-Panel Test. The test detects marijuana (THC), cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and methadone. The 8-Panel Test is often used in settings where opioid use or misuse is a concern, such as addiction recovery centers, healthcare environments, or workplaces where opioid safety is paramount.
Expanded Drug Testing for Comprehensive Monitoring
The 8-Panel Drug Test includes methadone, an opioid used in addiction recovery but also commonly abused. This addition makes the test especially useful for addiction treatment centers and workplaces.
This test covers both prescription opioids and illicit substances, providing a full view of an individual’s substance use. It includes substances such as marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines.
The inclusion of methadone detection makes the 8-Panel Drug Test an essential tool in opioid recovery programs, where the monitoring of methadone use is critical for patient management.
For industries such as transportation or heavy machinery operation, the 8-Panel Drug Test provides a critical layer of safety, ensuring employees are not under the influence of substances that could impair their performance.
By identifying individuals who might be misusing prescription opioids or illicit substances, the 8-Panel Drug Test helps create safer work environments, protecting both employees and employers.
