Drug & Alcohol Testing
Our program is designed to meet all major regulatory agency requirements. A secure drug screen collection process is available at the NOH clinic along with on-site Medical Review Officer services. NOH specimen collectors are trained and qualified under 49 CFR Part 40 Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing, Urine Collection and Breath Testing procedures. NOH secure bathroom facilities are specifically designed to help prevent specimen adulteration.
NOH offers a full service drug testing program which includes collection, shipping, analysis, physician review and written report to employers; we also offer collection only. Turn around time for results generally are within 48-72 hours depending on the need to perform confirmation testing. Breath Alcohol test results are available the day of the test.

- All testing must be performed at laboratories annually approved by the VT Dept of Health, therefore no rapid, in clinic testing can be performed, nor can breath –alcohol testing be performed.
- It is the employer’s responsibility to provide the employee the opportunity to have blood drawn at his/her expense, for testing at a later time. Billing for this testing will be from NOH to the client company.
