Why do you need home drug testing? For one home drug testing can be used as a tester before you’re ordered to do drug testing for work. Some jobs need you to have drug tests in order to ensure you are of sound mind and body, but there are a number of glitches that can happen with drug tests and it is paramount you use home drug testing to do effectively a ‘dry run’. Household or prescription medications can interfere with home drug testing, and even if you aren’t on any illegal substances it can give a false positive due to a number of different factors. Even things you eat and drink can show up on home drug testing as a false positive, so be sure to give home drug testing a try to identify if any false positives may turn up when you do the real drug test. A false positive could lose you your job and result in criminal action being taken against you despite being innocent. It is unfortunately an imperfect system and people often turn to pointing the finger rather than looking for a rational explanation. It is vital you don’t do home drug testing the night before the actual drug test, or else you won’t have enough time to figure out what caused the false positive.
In order to perform home drug testing you need to get yourself a home drug testing kit. They are generally available from chemist stores so you should be able to pick up a home drug testing kit rather easily and cheaply too. Unfortunately this home drug testing may pick up a false positive while the one at work does not, and the same in reverse. On average your home drug testing kit should be accurate and indicate whether you are getting a positive or a negative, false or not. If you have taken drugs and use a home drug testing kit that turns up negative, don’t assume the proper one you have to do will indicate the same either, so effectively stay away from drugs and certain food and drinks that may throw a false positive.
