At Integrated Care, the issue of drug screening in the workplace is treated with precision and advanced expertise. Recognizing the evolving landscape of drug use and legality, particularly with substances like delta-8 THC, Integrated Care offers a robust drug screening program designed to meet the complex needs of employers.

Understanding Delta-8 THC and Its Implications in Drug Testing

Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid that exists naturally in cannabis, albeit in very low concentrations. It is often synthesized from CBD, which is legal under federal law. However, delta-8 THC occupies a controversial position due to its psychoactive properties and its ambiguous legal status across various states. This has raised significant concerns in the realm of occupational health, especially regarding drug testing.

The presence of delta-8 THC in the body can indeed result in a positive drug test, primarily because standard drug tests are designed to detect THC metabolites, which are similar regardless of whether they originate from delta-9 THC (the most commonly known form of THC) or delta-8 THC. The National Drug Court Institute highlights a critical point for individuals undergoing drug testing—avoid delta-8 THC not just because of its legal uncertainty, but also due to the risk of impurity; many delta-8 THC products may inadvertently contain delta-9 THC, which is illegal at the federal level and in many states.

Integrated Care's Approach to Drug Screening

Integrated Care’s drug and alcohol testing services are designed with both compliance and accuracy at their core. The clinic offers various types of drug tests, including rapid drug screens and DOT drug tests, which are crucial for transportation and safety-sensitive positions.

Recognizing the challenges posed by substances like delta-8 THC, Integrated Care ensures that its testing protocols are continually updated to reflect the latest scientific findings and legal standards. This ensures that employers receive accurate and legally defensible results that can support effective workplace policies on drug use.
