  • Alcohol Plus 10 Common Drugs of Abuse

About this test

This is a combined screen that checks a urine sample for alcohol alongside ten commonly used recreational drugs, including amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, MDMA, methadone and morphine. It is designed for anyone who wants a single test covering both alcohol and a broad range of common drugs, rather than testing for each separately.

Against the wider set of toxicology tests we track, it scores reasonably for clinical depth given the number of substances covered in one profile, and well for collection convenience because it can be arranged with flexible sample options. It loses some ground on price, coming in above the median for similarly sized toxicology tests, and on results and follow-up, since a doctor does not routinely review your result unless it is positive.

As a provider, Better2Know holds a Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 775 reviews, is CQC registered, and has been trading since 2008.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who needs a combined alcohol and drugs screen, for example ahead of a workplace requirement or for personal peace of mind about what is currently detectable in their system. If you only need to check for drug use rather than alcohol, a narrower profile may suit you better and could cost less.

There are no comparable tests recorded for this listing, so we cannot say whether a cheaper equivalent is available elsewhere.

How it works

You provide a urine sample, which Better2Know sends to its laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within about 2 days of the sample arriving and are uploaded to your secure online patient area, with contact from the patient services team once results are ready. The provider does not state that a doctor reviews your result as standard, and you can remain anonymous during the process if you prefer.
