What Is a Drug Test?
A hospital drug test uses a biological sample such as hair, blood, or urine to detect a legal or illegal drug in a human’s body. Drugs include legal and illegal substances such as tobacco, alcohol, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and controlled substances. These tests are performed in various settings for different purposes using various techniques.
