What Is The Validity Of An Alcohol Drug Test?

I went for a alcohol drug test on Sat. they did not pick it up until Tues. They just called and would not give me the results. I was trying to let them know about the med I take but they say they didn t need it, I would have to get with my employer. Would those test still be good after 3 days. They said I would know within 24-48 hours and we are now on the 6th day

Hi,

Usually, the sample (urine or blood ) collected for drug testing are processed straight away.

Time is needed to analyze the results by lab pathologist.

Try to pass to your employer the names of the drugs you are taking and how do they affect the drug test.

All the best!
