Urine drug tests are conducted almost routinely by pain management physicians and other opioid prescribers for a variety of drugs, both legal and illegal. A useful tool in pain management, urine drug testing (UDT) provides important objective information to assist in diagnostic and therapeutic decision making. The test helps physicians to assess the patients being treated for a chronic pain condition with controlled substances.
UDT helps pain clinics to enhance patient care by:
- Diagnosing relapse or drug misuse as early as possible
- Reducing the risk of therapeutic failure
- Avoiding or detecting drug interaction
- Enhancing the physician's ability to use drugs effectively
However, negative urine reports caused by laboratory errors are a matter of concern. The availability of quality point of care urine drug test cups now ensure accurate and faster test results. It is also cheaper for practices to purchase drug test cups than to send a test to a central or reference laboratory.
