Understanding Cocaine


What is Cocaine?

A cocaine test is used to detect the presence of cocaine or its metabolites in the body. The body breaks down cocaine, and metabolites are byproducts of that process. A Cocaine screen test is performed as part of an employment procedure for suspects of drug abuse or those undergoing drug treatment.

 

This test uses urine, blood, saliva, sweat, or hair samples, and the results are obtained in a few minutes. A positive result means the presence of cocaine. Saliva testing is less intrusive as compared to urine or blood testing. A hair sample test can detect cocaine use even after several months. None of the tests poses a health risk. Informing the doctor about any medications, supplements, or illegal drugs is essential before the test.

What is Cocaine used for?

  1. The test is recommended either when a person is suspected of cocaine abuse
  2. The patient is in a drug treatment clinic
  3. An individual has applied for a job that demands such a test
  4. If you have applied for an insurance that needs a drug test
