How it works
Order online.
Pick the test the order calls for, enter your ZIP code, and pay. If you’re not sure which test it is, call us and we’ll read the order with you.
Test near you.
We confirm a certified collection site close to you that has the right kit and can collect your sample the way the test requires, and we send you the address with your collection authorization. One trip. Over 25,000 collection sites nationwide.
The result goes out, explained.
When the laboratory reports, we release the result to you and to everyone you named when you ordered: your attorney, the other side’s attorney, the guardian ad litem. Everyone gets the same report, at the same time, with the same explanation. Many other services deliver the result and nothing more; we explain it.

What you can order
Every test below is collected under forensic chain of custody and reported by an accredited laboratory. Prices are all-in: the collection, the laboratory, the report, a professional to explain it, and, for drug tests, a medical review of any positive so a valid prescription is explained before anyone sees a “positive.” No hidden fees.
PEth blood test — alcohol, the past three to four weeks
A direct marker of alcohol in the blood, covering roughly the past three to four weeks of moderate-to-heavy drinking. A blood draw from the arm at the collection site.
Ordering more than one? A package lowers the price of each. Paid once, used one test at a time on the dates the order calls for.
Need more than five, or random monitoring? Call (844) 659-6442.
Hair test — drugs, about the past 90 days
A small sample of hair from the head, cut close to the scalp, at the collection site; body hair where the site permits it. Each panel’s drug list is on the order page.
Urine test — drugs and alcohol, the past few days
Laboratory-confirmed, with medical review of any positive.
Observed collection, when the order requires one: added. At sites near you an observed collection is typically available for men only; if the order requires one for a woman, call us and we’ll arrange it.
Not sure which test the order means? Call us. We read orders every day.
Why “forensic” matters
A forensic test is done so the result can be used in court. That takes four things:
- Your photo ID is checked before the test.
- Your sample is sealed in front of you.
- Every handoff is signed on a chain-of-custody form, from the collection site to the laboratory.
- The forensic work continues at the laboratory. A positive screen is confirmed by a second, more specific test, and a drug positive goes to a medical review officer before it’s reported. Most diagnostic tests do neither. Why it matters: if your result needs a medical explanation, such as a prescribed medicine, only forensic testing provides one.
If any step is missing, the other side can question the result, and the court can decline to accept it.
A doctor’s test is not a forensic test
Tests ordered through a doctor or bought online for health reasons are clinical tests. Their reports usually say so, in words like “for medical treatment only” or “non-forensic.” Opposing counsel will point to that line. A clinical result can’t be made forensic afterward; if a court or an attorney will see your result, start with a forensic test.
After your result
A result is a number, not a verdict about you. A PEth result reflects drinking over the past few weeks; a hair result reflects drug use over about three months; a urine result reflects the past few days. That’s all each one measures.
We explain every result the same way to everyone who receives it: what the report shows, what the number and the cutoff mean, what the test can and can’t tell anyone, and what usually comes next, such as a retest or a monitoring schedule. We don’t take sides, and that keeps everyone honest. No one gets to stretch a result into something it doesn’t show. Other services may not, or simply cannot, provide anything beyond delivering the result. This can be the most important part of the testing process.
What we don’t do: argue your case or give an expert opinion about it. If your case needs expert testimony, that’s a separate service.
Video-monitored testing — built for a nationwide audience
For ongoing monitoring when both sides agree, or a court orders, that a lab collection every time is more than the situation needs. The donor takes an oral fluid screen at home, at work or on the road while a TrueTest collector watches live on video: photo ID checked on camera, the device read by the collector, a screenshot of the result to both parties. A non-negative screen isn’t a result; it triggers a chain-of-custody collection at a site near the donor, and only the lab result counts.
Price per test: . We set the schedule with you by phone; nothing is paid online for this test.

How to tell a clinical result from a forensic one.
Too often, results that reach an attorney’s desk were produced for medical care, not for court. The signs are on the report: a disclaimer that the test is for medical use only; values flagged against a reference range with no forensic cutoff; no chain-of-custody record. The laboratory isn’t saying the result is wrong; it’s saying the test was built for a different job, under different handling and documentation standards. What makes a result forensic is how the specimen was collected: identity verified, specimen sealed, custody documented from collection to laboratory.

Questions people ask before they order
Do I need an appointment?
Usually not. Most collection sites take walk-ins; we tell you the site’s hours with your authorization. Some sites, and every observed collection, need a booking; we arrange it.
Can I use my own doctor or a walk-in clinic?
Not for a court. See why forensic matters above.
Who sees my result?
You, and everyone you name when you order. We release the report to all of them at the same time. We don’t send results to anyone else without your written release or a court order.
How long until the result?
For most tests, 3 to 6 business days. Yours might take slightly longer, and we tell you the expected timing when you order.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Afterpay is offered at checkout: four interest-free payments.
Can I cancel a PEth test?
Yes. If you haven’t had your blood draw yet, call us for a full refund.
What if I’m in the Chicago area?
Same tests, same prices. You can also come to our Elk Grove Village office or have our mobile collector come to you. The order page shows those options when they fit where you are.
Which states can’t you serve online?
New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland and Massachusetts, for now. If you’re there, call us.
