A urine screen indicates possible presence — it is fast and affordable, and for many situations it is all that is needed. Laboratory confirmation is the verification step: it tests the same sample with more precise methods, so the result can stand up to scrutiny.

The practical rule: if your result is just for you, the screen may be enough. If someone else will make a decision based on it — a court, an employer, an agency — ask about confirmation when you schedule.

The 12-panel screen covers twelve substance categories, including THC, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and other commonly tested substances. Staff will confirm the full panel list when you schedule, and testing for additional drugs can be completed upon request at additional cost.

A urine screen shows recent use within each substance’s detection window — and detection windows vary by substance and by person. It cannot pinpoint exact timing or amounts, and a screen alone is an indication, not a verified result. Hope Council conducts testing and reports results without medical or legal interpretation — and nothing about a result changes how you are treated here.

Results go to you and to anyone you authorize through a signed Release of Information. Nothing is shared without it.
