Erowid Drug Testing Vaults : <strong>The</strong> Basics<br />

5. Phencyclidine (PCP)<br />

Exp<strong>and</strong>ed Tests<br />

Most drug testing companies also offer an exp<strong>and</strong>ed test which includes a few additional drugs<br />

in the testing process. Most do not add all of these in their exp<strong>and</strong>ed test, but choose a different<br />

combination of 3 or 4 to add :<br />

1. Barbituates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Butabital)<br />

2. Methaqualone (Qualuudes)<br />

3. Benzodiazepines (Valium, Librium, Serax, Rohypnol)<br />

4. Methadone<br />

5. Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds)<br />

6. Ethanol<br />

Additional Testables<br />

In addition, there are a few other substances which it is possible but quite unusual to test for. I<br />

only found reference to testing for these additional substances at 1 (out of 15) drug testing site :<br />

1. LSD<br />

2. Hallucinogens (Psilocybin, Mescaline, MDMA, MDA, MDE)<br />

3. Inhalents (Toluene, Xylene, Benzene)<br />

TEST TYPES<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are three primary types of drug tests: blood, urine, <strong>and</strong> hair. Most common is the urine test<br />

which has the benefit of being inexpensive <strong>and</strong> less intrusive than the blood test.<br />

Urine Tests<br />

● Are the least expensive of the test methods (~$25-$50)<br />

● Can be done at home (for example by parents).<br />

● Detect use primarily within the past week (longer with regular use).<br />

● Can be affected by abstaining from use for a period of time before the test<br />

● Are often temperature tested to insure sample integrity<br />

Hair Tests<br />

● Are considered the least intrusive method of drug testing.<br />

● Are currently many times more expensive than urine tests (~$100-$150).<br />

● Detect substance use over a longer period (see detection period)<br />

● Do not usually detect use within the past week.<br />
