Details about Drugs of Abuse Profile – Random Urine Sample/No Chain of Custody Plus Alcohol
What is the Drugs of Abuse Profile (Urine) Plus Alcohol?
The Drugs of Abuse Profile is a comprehensive urine screening test designed to detect the presence of commonly misused substances and alcohol. It is intended for clinical, personal, medical or monitoring use and is performed without a formal chain of custody.
Urine testing is widely used because many substances and their metabolites are excreted through the kidneys and remain detectable for hours to days after use. This profile provides a broad overview of recent exposure to stimulants, depressants, opioids and recreational drugs.
The inclusion of alcohol testing allows assessment of recent ethanol consumption alongside drug screening.
Why do I need a Drugs of Abuse Urine Screen?
You may need this test for health monitoring, clinical assessment, medication review or personal reassurance. It is commonly used when substance exposure may affect physical health, mental wellbeing or treatment decisions.
Unlike workplace or legal testing, this profile is intended for non-forensic purposes, making it suitable for private medical evaluation.
Symptoms and scenarios where testing is recommended:
- Clinical assessment of unexplained symptoms
- Monitoring substance use or abstinence
- Medication compliance checks
- Mental health or addiction support
- Fatigue, confusion or altered behaviour
- Liver or kidney health concerns
- Pre-treatment or follow-up assessment
- Personal health reassurance

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
