How Urine Testing for Drugs Works
Urine drug testing can be used to detect both drugs in the urine and the substances the body breaks drugs down into. This way, it’s possible to detect if someone is under the influence of a substance or if they have recently used the substances. Modern drug testing is highly accurate and mix-ups are relatively rare.
Drugs are metabolized by the body and broken down into metabolites. These metabolites will remain in the urine typically even after the high produced by the substance wears off. The metabolites can act as a biomarker, allowing the drug tests to identify potential substance abuse.

When Urine Drug Testing is Needed
Urine testing may be required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for drivers operating commercial vehicles. It’s crucial to ensure that operators of large vehicles and vehicles carrying large numbers of people are safely operating their vehicles and not under the influence.
Courts also order drug testing to ensure that someone is not abusing substances, for example, while on probation. Sometimes, families order private drug testing as well, perhaps to monitor and assist a family member who is suffering from addiction.
Many private employers also order drug testing for prospective employees. If an employee is abusing substances, it can lead to many incidents, including workplace accidents. Employees struggling with substance abuse may also prove less reliable. Drug abuse may also fuel workplace theft and other issues. Some employers also order periodic drug testing for current employees to reduce risks.
