Description:
Fentanyl Urine Drug Test (Labcorp)
This test is used to look for Fentanyl in a urine sample. Testing will include a screen and, if results warrant, confirmatory testing. Confirmation will be performed at no additional cost if anything is detected in the initial screening. A positive result will provide a numerical value for the level detected.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid which is sometimes prescribed to treat severe pain, such as in cancer patients. There has been an increase recently in reports of Fentanyl abuse. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that between 2013 and 2014 there was an 80% increase in overdose deaths attributed to synthetic opioids such as Fentanyl. Fentanyl is produced and sold illegally due to the euphoric high it produces which is similar to Heroin. However, Fentanyl is significantly more potent than Heroin and carries a high risk of overdose. Fentanyl is sometimes combined with other drugs such as Heroin or Cocaine which can increase the health risk due to a person not knowing what or how much they are actually taking. Most standard drug testing panels do not include testing for Fentanyl so a test which looks for Fentanyl specifically is required. Fentanyl is typically detectable in urine for 1-2 days after use but detection times may vary based on a number of factors such as a person's metabolism and how much they took.
IMPORTANT: This test looks for Fentanyl only. For a test which covers Fentanyl as well as some of its variations, please see our Fentanyl, Acetyl Fentanyl and Analogues Test. For a longer detection period, a Hair Follicle Fentanyl Test is also available.
Turnaround for this test is typically 3-6 business days but may take longer if confirmatory testing is required.
At this time, Request A Test does not offer DOT (Department of Transportation) certified testing.
