Drug and alcohol abuse constitute a significant problem in the workplace, contributing to low productivity, poor job performance, increased accidents, incidents of theft, and decreased employee morale. Drug-abusing employees acquire 300% higher medical costs [U.S. Chamber of Commerce] and are five times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim [U.S. Dept. of Justice, DEA].

Lakeside Occupational Medical Centers is both a NIDA-approved collection site for urine drug screenings and an HRS-approved collection site for all State of Florida Drug Free Workplace specimens. Certified Breath Alcohol Technicians are available in our clinics and on-site. We use only SAMSHA Certified Laboratories to process our results.

The Value of Experience
Once the decision to drug screen employees is determined, choosing the right facility to collect, process and report your result is equally important. We guarantee confidential results within 24 hours of the laboratory receiving the specimen (negative only, positive results usually require an additional 24 to 48 hours). Our computer system assists us in maintaining detailed reporting instructions and employee drug screen results. Results are usually reported via telephone and a printed copy is mailed when the final is received. Statistical reports are available at the employers' request.

Random Selection Module
While the Department of Transportation requires random drug testing, more and more non-DOT regulated companies are using random testing to reinforce a drug free workplace policy after the post offer drug screen.
