Drug of abuse, Panel-9 Drugs

Description

The Drug of Abuse Panel-9 is a comprehensive screening test that detects nine different drugs or their metabolites. This expanded panel typically includes all drugs tested in the 6-panel test plus additional substances such as methadone, propoxyphene, and barbiturates. The 9-panel test provides extensive coverage for both illicit drugs and commonly abused prescription medications. It’s particularly useful in clinical settings, substance abuse treatment programs, and in occupations where a more thorough drug screening is required. This comprehensive panel helps healthcare providers and employers identify a wider range of potential substance use issues.
