Toxicology Testing Designed Specifically for Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) and Law Enforcement

In support of the 12-step DRE protocol, NMS Labs has designed a toxicology service covering the seven DRE drug categories and all the priority drug groups recognized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Our specialized toxicology testing for DREs and law enforcement was developed with the oversight of Dr. Barry Logan, nationally recognized for his leadership and contribution to the DRE program.  The basic test includes the most commonly abused drugs and can be ordered with various options and additional tests to meet the specific needs of more challenging cases.

The Drug Impaired Driving/DRE Toxicology Panels are available with or without alcohol testing (Note: for customers requiring Title 17 Alcohol, an add-on is available).

Options include an Expert Opinion Report for toxicology testing performed by NMS Labs.  Request information on the Expert Opinion Report.

NMS Labs offers some of the most advanced toxicology testing procedures in the industry, backed by a comprehensive list of accreditations and a team of over 200 scientific staff with years of expertise in toxicology.  We are also the only independent lab in the nation with both ABFT and ASCLD-LAB accreditation.

With some of the fastest turnaround times in the industry, you get your results back sooner to help expedite your cases.

Client Representatives are also ready to assist you with selecting additional testing categories that may be needed for specific cases.  For those cases where results come back negative, but there is a strong suspicion of drug use, our Representatives may recommend additional ultra sensitivity testing that can identify low doses of drugs such as benzodiazepines, opiates and amphetamines.

Drug ID is also available when evidence is collected at the scene.

The easy-to-read, detailed report includes a comments section specific for the DRE (for the Drug Impaired Driving/DRE Toxicology Panels).
