Saliva Drug Tests
_____________________
Another
popular form of test available on the market is a saliva drug
test. Saliva drug tests check for the presence or absence of
drugs or drug metabolites in human saliva. While generally
more costly that a urine tests, they are definitely a reliable
alternative.
Pros: They
are very donor friendly, non-invasive and east to collect. With
saliva tests, there is no need for a bathroom. They work best
for detecting very recent drug use. These tests are also harder
to
adulterate than
urine tests, mainly because the sample can be obtained with
direct supervision. Results come within minutes and there is no
need for a
lab. This is the most effective method to determine current
use and impairment.
Cons: The
biggest disadvantage to saliva tests is the
detection window. Depending on the rate of saliva
production, and the type and density of the drug used, the
window varies from a few hours to at very most 3-4 days. As
well, smoking drugs can cause contamination of saliva, leaving
inconclusive results.
