Alcohol and Drug Screening Process

Residents of all transitional housing programs participate in onsite drug and alcohol testing twice a week
Each of these drug tests is performed approximately 80 hours apart.
Our staff obtains immediate results
Our drug screening process is extremely thorough and tests for more than 70 different substances. We obtain immediate results for THC, COC, OPI, AMP, MET, PCP, MDMA, BAR, BZO, MTD, TCA, and OXY (among others).
All samples can be sent to a toxicology laboratory
Once the onsite test is completed, we can refer the samples to a toxicology laboratory where they are tested within 48 hours for alcohol, core drugs, and synthetic drugs like spice and bath salts. Alcohol use is determined through ETG and ETS testing and we receive confirmed laboratory results within 72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often does Eudaimonia test for drugs and alcohol?
We conduct twice‑weekly onsite screenings for all residents—about 80 hours apart—to support accountability and maintain a substance‑free community.
Do I have to participate in the screening program?
Yes. Testing is required upon enrollment and included in monthly program tuition. It’s a cornerstone of our sober‑living standards and community safety.
What substances do you test for?
We screen for 70+ substances with immediate onsite results for common drug classes (e.g., THC, COC, OPI, AMP, MET, PCP, MDMA, BAR, BZO, MTD, TCA, OXY), and we can test for synthetics (e.g., “spice”/synthetic cannabinoids) through lab confirmation.
How long can alcohol be detected on an EtG/EtS test?
Standard urine ethanol tests detect use for <24 hours, while EtG/EtS metabolites typically extend detection to about 24–72 hours, depending on amount and individual factors.
How accurate are rapid tests—and what if a result is unclear?
Initial immunoassay screens are fast but can produce false positives; that’s why we send non‑negative results for lab confirmation (e.g., GC/MS or LC‑MS/MS)—typically available within 48–72 hours after the lab receives the specimen.
Can my prescription or OTC medication cause a false positive?
It’s possible with initial screens (examples include some cough/cold meds and antidepressants). Our protocol includes confirmatory testing to rule out cross‑reactivity so legitimate prescriptions don’t jeopardize your progress.
How fast will I (and my family) see results?
We provide immediate onsite results, and when confirmation is needed, we receive lab‑verified reports—generally within 72 hours—with secure website access available for residents and families.
Why is testing part of sober living?
Regular screening promotes accountability, protects the peer community, and gives families peace of mind while you focus on recovery in a structured, transitional setting.
