Frequently Asked Questions for Individuals

Hard to say with certainty, but many pain medications will cause a "positive " drug test.  If the place you are applying has a formal drug testing program, there's a good chance they will use a service provider that includes services of a "Medical Review Officer" (MRO). This is a medical doctor who is trained to verify any prescriptions with the person testing positive and evaluate the results in light of the additional information collected. So if you have a valid prescription and are not abusing your pain meds, they should present no problem if a MRO is used. But if you want to know ahead of time if you will test "positive", you can come to Midway for a test and find out. Schedule this from our home page and request an "Instant Drug Test". You will have your answer with 99% certainty before leaving. 

See the answer to the question above.

At Midway, we can test for the presence of drugs. But we cannot counsel parents/guardians on the range of responses and treatments for those using drugs illegally. There are abundant resources available online to find local substance abuse professionals. These may be covered by health insurance, depending on your plan. But maybe a good place to begin  would be to find out if your suspicions are accurate or not.  Talk with your teen about having a drug test. If you can persuade them to have a test without causing a disturbance, schedule a test at Midway and find out for sure. Midway does not test minors without a parent/guardian permission and presence.   

It could be. CBD ( Cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both found in cannibis plants. Depending on manufacturing methods, sources of raw materials, and formulations, that CBD oil you use might cause a positive test for THC. How much you use could also be a factor. CBD oil products are not standardized by the FDA, and we're only talking about domestic sources. If it comes from overseas, who knows what it contains? Midway performs drug tests and most of the tests we perform for employers can be performed for individuals also. If Midway performs the test for you, no one but you gets the results and you know for sure.  

Midway can perform a test that will look for the same substances as the current DOT urine drug test. Go to our homepage and look for "Individual 5 panel test (DOT twin)" If you can pass this test legitimately, you should have no problem with a DOT test.     

In one word, "No". Test collectors and labs have seen it all before when it comes to those who try to cheat. The only way to pass a drug test is to be drug free. If the collection tech catches you trying to cheat, you will be re-tested and watched while you pee in the cup. If you refuse, it will be reported to your employer. If you are DOT regulated, you may lose your driving privileges, your job, and be reported to the DOT. If you happen to get out of the collection process without getting caught, the lab will detect cheating when it analyzes the specimen. Midway is against cheating in any form.
