Definitive Oral Fluid Drug Testing with Millennium OFT

Benefits of Oral Fluid Drug Testing

Oral fluid drug testing (OFT) is a convenient alternative to urine drug testing (UDT). The clinical comparability of UDT with OFT has been shown in several studies,^1,2 including a key study published by West et al.³ The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has endorsed OFT for use in a variety of clinical settings.

Advantages of OFT include:

Convenient-no restroom needed
Specimen collection observed, mitigating tampering
Helpful for patients unable to provide a urine specimen (e.g., in renal failure or due to incontinence)
Oral fluid collection may be more acceptable to staff and patients

We also offer urine drug testing which provides definitive detection of more than 100 drugs and metabolites encompassing over 400 brand name drugs.

Medication monitoring and drug detection services from Millennium Health ensure that clinicians can choose tests individually, based on medical necessity, rather than being obligated to use a one-size-fits-all, pre-set panel of tests.
