  • Fast Turnaround: For negative results, expect a turnaround time of less than 2 business days. Positive or non-negative results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) to ensure accuracy and compliance.
  • Single Point of Contact & Trusted Reporting: You can order, monitor, and follow up on tests through our secure 24/7 web portal. You only deal with Reliable for invoicing, and results flow directly through our portal — no juggling multiple vendors and drug screening partners.

Drug Panel Options

We provide a full range of drug panel configurations, which are all customizable to your specific policies. Our most common offerings include:

  • 4 Panel Drug Test  
  • 5-Panel Drug Test  
  • 9-Panel Drug Test
  • 10-Panel Drug Test
  • Customized Panels tailored to your business needs

Here is a breakdown of what is typically included in our standard panels:

What Does a 5-Panel Drug Test Screen For?

A standard 5-panel drug test generally detects:

  1. Marijuana (THC) — the psychoactive compound in cannabis (can be removed to create a 4-panel drug test)
  2. Cocaine
  3. Opiates (e.g., morphine, codeine, heroin in some forms)
  4. Amphetamines (including methamphetamine)
  5. Phencyclidine (PCP)

This configuration aligns with common pre-employment, workplace safety, and DOT-like screening protocols.

What Does a 10-Panel Drug Test Screen For?

This broader panel helps organizations identify both illicit street drugs and commonly abused prescription medications.

Our standard 10-panel test expands on the 5-panel, typically including:

  1. Marijuana (THC)  (can be removed to create a 9-panel drug test)
  2. Amphetamines (and methamphetamine)
  3. Cocaine
  4. Opiates (e.g., morphine and codeine; sometimes heroin metabolites)
  5. Phencyclidine (PCP)
  6. Barbiturates (like phenobarbital)
  7. Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium)
  8. Methadone
  9. Propoxyphene (a pain medication)
  10. Methaqualone (Quaaludes) (in lab-based testing)

Benefits to Your Organization

FAQ

Drug screening is a process for determining if certain controlled substances, as well as illegal ones, are found within an individual’s body. Drug screening is often used for pre-employment purposes, as well as for determining ongoing qualification for continued employment.
A 4-panel drug test typically examines for certain substances that are frequently abused, specifically Opiates, PCP, Cocaine, and Amphetamines.
Drug tests and drug screens, although they both look to uncover trace amounts of various controlled or illegal substances within a person’s body, they are in fact dissimilar. Drug tests are more accurate, but considerably more expensive and typically take longer for results to be reported. Drug screens are quick, more affordable, but also prone to a higher degree of “false positives.” However, the relative reliability, combined with its lower cost and fast turnaround times, make drug screens the most widely used within the business community.
Drug screening tests for certain controlled substances, as well as illegal ones, may be found within an individual’s body. A 5-panel drug screen typically looks for frequently abused substances, including THC, opiates, PCP, cocaine, and amphetamines. A 10-panel drug screen usually adds quaaludes, propoxyphene, benzodiazepines, methadone, and barbiturates.
