What is a Positive Urine Drug Screen Result?
Presumptive Positive: A positive screening test result indicates that a drug or metabolite may be present in the specimen. The positive screening test result is only presumptive and the result should be confirmed by additional testing. Confirmed Positive: A positive urine drug result determined and reported after proper performance of screening and confirmation testing. It indicates drug use but is not an indicator of impairment, intoxication or frequency of drug use. Detection of a drug(s) or metabolite(s) identifies drug use; a conclusion of drug abuse requires consideration of other factors including behavior, recent drug prescription, repetitive testing, etc.
