Drugs of Abuse Urine - NCOC

This urine drugs of abuse screen is a non-chain-of-custody (NCOC) panel for adults who need a broad check for recent exposure to common substances of misuse. It is suitable for personal health checks, clinical assessment, and workplace or occupational health settings where formal chain-of-custody procedures are not required. A single urine sample is collected and tested for the presence of the parent drugs and/or their metabolites listed below.

The panel covers the following substance groups:

Stimulants
- Amphetamines
- Cocaine

Cannabis
- Cannabis

Opioids and related analgesics
- Opiates
- 6-MAM (heroin metabolite)
- Methadone metabolite (EDDP)
- Propoxyphene

Sedatives
- Benzodiazepines
- Barbiturates

Dissociatives and hallucinogens
- Ketamine
- Phencyclidine (PCP)

Because this is an NCOC screen, the result is intended for clinical, personal, or workplace wellbeing purposes rather than formal legal or evidentiary use unless a separate chain-of-custody collection is arranged.

Why it matters

Awareness of recent substance exposure can support safer clinical decisions, more informed health conversations, and appropriate onward care. It can help clinicians assess possible substance use alongside symptoms, medication review, or mental health assessment, and it gives individuals a clear starting point for discussing support, treatment, or lifestyle changes.
