Substance Use Testing

Substance Use Testing at Universal Alternatives is designed to support accountability without sacrificing your dignity or privacy. Whether your testing is required by the court, requested by an employer, or part of your own recovery plan, you can expect a professional, respectful experience from start to finish.

We provide accurate screening using established testing methods for alcohol and a range of drugs. Samples are collected and handled according to clear procedures to protect both reliability and confidentiality. Your results are never treated as gossip; they are protected health information and are shared only with you and the parties you authorize, such as your attorney, probation officer, or employer.

For clients involved in DUI cases or deferred prosecution, regular testing can be a powerful tool. Clean results show the court and your support system that you are following through on your commitments. If a test is positive, we focus on what it means for your safety and treatment plan, not on shaming you. Together, we determine next steps-additional support, schedule adjustments, or treatment changes-to help you regain stability.

Testing can also be paired with our monthly monitoring and reporting service, so your compliance records reach the right people on time in an organized format. This reduces your workload and the anxiety of managing paperwork on your own.

We offer testing during regular business hours with options for recurring schedules, making it easier to fit into your routine. By choosing a behavioral health setting rather than a purely punitive environment, you gain more than a lab result-you gain a partner who understands the bigger picture of your recovery and legal journey, and who uses testing as a tool to move you forward, not hold you back.
