Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics Tool Targeted Towards Addiction

The initial results are deliverable 24 hours from receipt of the specimen in the laboratory, with confirmatory results by alternate method available within a few days. Dominion works with a variety of medical specialties, but the new CARD report is in fact targeted towards addiction treatment and behavioral health.

CARD utilizes laboratory results from validated quantitative urine drug testing profiles for commonly abused illicit and prescription drugs and/or their metabolites, as well as biological markers and commercial adulterant screening (i.e., creatinine, specific gravity, pH, and oxidants) to ensure specimen validity.

The results provide data to support and measure a treatment program's ability to reduce morbidity in substance abuse, improve retention in treatment, and promote the use of evidence-based practice for individuals suffering from addiction and mental health disorders, in line with ongoing initiatives supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency (SAMHSA; Rockville, MD, USA).

Dominion Diagnostics is a premier provider of comprehensive clinical quantitative urine drug testing, medication monitoring, and support services nationwide.
