About Us

The Drug Testing Place is built on a foundation of principles that ensures consistent delivery of exceptional drug and alcohol testing services. One of our founders is a retired police officer with 28-years’ experience as a Drug Recognition Expert. We have been in the drug testing business since 2016 and have completed over 50,000 drug tests.

Regardless of the reason for testing, we apply the following principles in every case to ensure the integrity, quality, and accuracy of our service offerings.

RESPECT

​The Drug Testing Place is locally owned and operated, building on over six years of drug / alcohol testing experience. We started with a simple vision to provide a dignified and respectful place for people to do drug and alcohol testing, irrespective of the reason. When clients come into our local office, they are treated to an environment that is inviting and friendly instead of cold and sterile. When utilizing our nationwide 35,000+ collection site network, we make every effort to locate a site that most closely aligns with our own philosophy. We honor that by helping to make the process as comfortable as possible while ensuring that the specimen is collected with the highest level of integrity.

COMMITMENT

We work in an ever-changing environment that involves the legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses. This produces an inconsistent framework of legal precedents leaving many employers confused about new policies and the employees have not been adequately educated on the consequences of smoking marijuana, even off duty, outside of the workplace. It is because of these uncertainties that The Drug Testing Place is taking steps to ensure compliance and maintain consistency as Florida and other states navigate the legalization of both medical and recreational marijuana. We have taken current industry practices that have been previously used to satisfy minimum testing requirements and elevated them to a higher standard by taking steps to further decrease exposure and mitigate any potential litigation brought about by a disputed result.

SERVICE

The Drug Testing Place is built on principles of integrity, honesty, and a commitment to our clients. Perfection is a quality that we constantly strive to obtain. Our philosophy is that the art of providing exceptional customer service is not about delivering perfection, but delivering on an expectation when things aren’t status quo. Our staff is empowered to use their knowledge, creativity, and common sense to ensure that the expectations of our clients are met. ​

INTEGRITY

To ensure the accuracy and fairness of our testing programs, all testing is conducted according to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Federal DOT (Department of Transportation) guidelines where applicable and include a screening test; a confirmation test; the opportunity for a split sample; review by a Medical Review Officer, including the opportunity for employees who test positive to provide a legitimate medical explanation, such as a physician’s prescription, for the positive result; and a documented chain of custody. This protocol provides a legally valid result should any dispute arise and complies with HIPAA in most situations.

STEWARDSHIP

As financial stewards of your company, The Drug Testing Place offers you the ability to have a significant impact on your bottom line. Great service should be expected. It should not cost extra. We will not squeeze you into a one size fits all employee screening box. We will customize a program that truly fits your needs at a rate that is appropriate. We will make sure that you are only paying for what you need and that you are not paying for high overheads unnecessarily.
