NEDAC provides full service drug and alcohol testing with many options...

DRUG TESTING – URINALYSIS
When drugs are taken in any form, traces end up in the urine within a very short time. Depending on the drug taken, they will remain in the urine for days or weeks. If drugs are present, our drug testing system will identify them. NEDAC does 5-panel DOT and 5-panel non-DOT drug testing, plus 10-panel non-DOT drug testing, or any combination thereof, as required by the employer. The basic 5-panel DOT screen, tests for Cannabinoids (marijuana, hashish, THC), PCP, Opiates (opium, heroin, morphine, codeine), Cocaine, and Amphetamines (speed). A 10-panel screen, tests for the basic five abusive drugs, plus Barbiturates (downers), Methaqualone (quaalude), Methadone (heroin substitute), Benzodiazephines (tranquilizers, Librium, Valium), and Propoxyphene. Urine specimens are collected daily and sent to a laboratory Federally certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Extensively trained and certified collection technicians follow strict Chain-of-Custody procedures.

FIVE MINUTE RAPID DRUG SCREEN URINALYSIS
As an alternative to sending a urine specimen to a certified laboratory, there are many circumstances where there is a need for "instant" drug test results. NEDAC offers testing using a rapid screen kit which gives extremely accurate results within 5 minutes or less. They are available in 5-panel or 10-panel configurations, and while approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, they are not approved for DOT testing yet. A recent independent laboratory study confirms the kits as 100% accurate in drug detection. They are particularly useful to employers who wish to test their prospective employees immediately so the individual can go to work right away. Also, individuals can purchase them from NEDAC or companies which want to conduct their own drug testing. Test costs by NEDAC personnel using the rapid screen kits are comparable to laboratory testing, or the kits can be purchased outright through NEDAC. They are not available through traditional outlets such as pharmacies and drug stores.

Alcohol Check ALCOHOL TESTING
DOT and non-DOT alcohol testing is conducted using the DOT approved "Intoximeter Alco-Sensor IV" evidential breath testing device, which gives 100% accurate test results including a printed confirmation. All of NEDAC collectors are Certified Breath Alcohol Technicians.

HAIR TESTING
Radioimmunoassay of hair is a revolutionary new drug screening process that can determine an individual’s drug history, not just the amount of drugs present in the body at the time of testing, but over a period of months or even years. NEDAC offers this service to customer’s who want this type of historical reading.

ON-SITE TESTING
Trained NEDAC collection technicians can go to your site and conduct any type of testing you require, with the dignity and courtesy each employee donor deserves.

24-HOURS, 7 DAYS PER WEEK SERVICE
NEDAC never closes. We are available to clients at all times, including holidays. Technicians are always available to handle regular random testing, reasonable cause/reasonable suspicion situations, and post-accident testing needs. Normally, a technician is able to respond within 10 minutes of getting a call for service.

RANDOM SELECTION SERVICE
We can provide the client company with a computerized Random Pool from which employee names can be selected for random drug and alcohol testing. Random selections can be done at any time he client desires, usually monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly depending upon the size and needs of the company. Having NEDAC conduct the random selections greatly helps o defuse employee complaints concerning that the company keeps singling out specific individuals for testing, accusations of bias, and charges of discrimination based on gender, ethnic origin, religion, etc., and the random selections can be done at a very modest cost.

DHHS/SAMHSA LABORATORY SERVICE
NEDAC utilizes several different laboratories to conduct the actual laboratory analysis of the urine specimen. Each laboratory is a Department of Health & Human Services/Substance Abuse and Mental HealthServices Administration certified laboratory. If a client wants to use a particular laboratory, NEDAC is able to accommodate such request.

CONFIDENTIAL BACKGROUND CHECKS
NEDAC, being useful to clients needing pre-employment screening, also provides a complete background check service on prospective employees as an additional service. We can provide criminal background checks, employment verification, social security number verification, driving records history, credit history, education verification, and professional certification verification. Typical turnaround time is usually 24 hours for criminal, social security number, driving records history, credit history, and professional certification verification. By completing a thorough background screening of the prospective employee, the employer can avoid hiring the wrong person, and spend very little money in order to hire just the right employee.

PATERNITY AND GENETIC TESTING
NEDAC certified technicians can collect either blood or use saliva swabs to collect a DNA specimen to be analyzed by a licensed laboratory to determine paternity and also genetics of the individuals tested.
