While routine and random urine drug testing has provided an objective measure of adherence to therapy in both the pain management and addiction settings, oral fluid has become an increasingly popular matrix to assess compliance. Since most urine drug collection is not observed, adulteration is possible, and other patients suffer from shy bladder or anuria and may not be able to provide a urine specimen. For these reasons, the utility of oral fluid has been explored as a tool to assess compliance. However, oral fluid is not without its analytical challenges such as low sample volumes and shorter windows of detection.
This webinar will describe substance use disorders and the common laboratory tests and matrices used for controlled substance monitoring. The advantages and challenges of using oral fluid will be discussed along with how to correctly interpret oral fluid drug testing results.
