Substance Abuse Testing Overview

At Willow Laboratories, our quality assurance, employee qualifications and equipment maintenance programs meet and exceed the stringent regulations set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Clinical Laboratories Improvement Amendments by the federal government (CLIA) and Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA). Specimens are generally tested in panels, usually between 5 and 12. Each panel contains different substances to be tested. We also offer special panels on request (see below). Clients can expect initial testing results within 24 hours of the specimen arriving at the lab. At Willow, we understand that the work we do affects people's lives. That is why we follow a strict chain of custody process with quality assurance systems in-place. Of the millions of samples tested throughout our history, not a single reported drug test has been successfully challenged. We're proud of this record of success.
