More Information about the Drug Test Kit
AccuQuik™ diagnostic drug test kit provides high-quality substance detection via qualitative immunoassays. The test detects narcotic substances and their metabolites in the urine or serum sample. The narcotic detection test works according to the principle of competitive binding of the narcotic substance and/or its metabolites to the test strip.
The drug test should be taken approximately within a week of any suspected narcotics activity, however, this varies depending on which narcotic substance is being tested for. A result will be available in 10 minutes.
Some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications may affect the result, such as antidepressants. The AccuQuik™ drug test kit is very sensitive with low detection thresholds allowing for over 99% accuracy.
The tests can be used for a variety of different situations, each calling for a different mode of action depending on the result. In most cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor or healthcare provider in the case of a positive result of the drug test. Temperature tests can also be taken at the time of sampling to prevent the patient from switching the samples with another sample to avoid detection.
AccuQuik™ promotes the use of the drug test kit for alcohol, amphetamine, barbiturate, buprenorphine, benzodiazepine, cocaine, ketamine, MDMA ecstasy, methamphetamine, morphine, methadone, phencyclidine, THC marijuana, and multi-drug panel tests.

Narcotics
General Information
Narcotics are psychoactive compounds that are under strict governmental regulation, with the substances normally classified as dangerous and illegal. The consumption of narcotic substances, whether for recreational or therapeutic purposes, can cause a wide range of unwanted side effects and can ultimately lead to addiction and possible death.
Addiction occurs due to the activation of basic pleasure and reward circuits in the brain, commonly involving the chemical dopamine. Once in the body, the narcotic will be metabolized, causing a biochemical modification of the substance. The rate at which the narcotic substance is metabolized influences the intensity and duration of the pharmacological activity. Narcotic toxins are released into the bloodstream when body fat is metabolized, then filtered through the kidneys and excreted as urine.
The period during which the narcotic substance and its metabolites can be detected in the bodily fluids is known as the detection window. The length of the detection window depends on multiple factors including the drug class, the amount taken, the frequency of use, metabolic rate, body mass, age, overall health, and urine pH. There are rough estimates indicating the average detection window for each narcotic substance under normal conditions, as shown below.

Treatments
If a patient tests positive for narcotics the first step should be to retake the test to confirm the result. If a positive drug test has been confirmed then it is important not to only focus on the disciplinary process, but to also consider the process of rehabilitation for the patient.
The treatment of a positive result will depend on the individual and the situation and should be handled professionally with everyone’s best interest in mind. The individual should stop taking the narcotic substance, and should try to regain a healthy lifestyle involving regular exercise and a balanced diet. The individual should be monitored and supported throughout the rehabilitation process to ensure mental and physical wellbeing on their road to recovery.
