Most employers who do drug testing do it because they know the importance of a drug free workplace. They understand it’s a crucial part of providing a safe work environment and it’s a great return on investment. It is a proven fact that having a drug free workplace reduces accidents, health insurance cost, tardiness, and absenteeism. Additionally, it tells your employees you value them and their right to a safe and productive workplace.
We’re one of the few clinics that allow personal tests. Most clinics will not test individuals who are not associated with an employer or company that sanctions the test; the reason is because of all the cheating that goes on and the clinics refusal to deal with an individual that cheats on a personal test. Yes, believe it or not, we get folks who come into our clinic, pay for their own test, and try to cheat.
