How much does a drug and alcohol test cost?
The cost of a drug and alcohol test depends on several factors, including the purpose of the test and the type of sample required for analysis. For example, if the test is needed to prove abstinence for court, a hair drug test is often specified by a court order. Alternatively, if you're a business looking to screen multiple employees, a rapid urine drug screen may be a more cost-effective option.
To help guide your decision, we've provided a list of example prices for different types of drug and alcohol tests. All prices are inclusive of VAT.
Saliva drug and alcohol testing
We offer two options for saliva drug testing:
- Rapid Saliva Drug Screen: Starting at £60 per person (depending on the number of employees/donors being tested). This cost-effective option provides quick results at your appointment.
- Laboratory Saliva Drug Screen and Confirmation Test: Starting at £72 per person. Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for confirmation testing.
For single appointments at one of our clinic locations, the prices are as follows:
- Rapid Saliva Drug Screen: £162
- Laboratory Saliva Drug Test: £186
Alcohol testing can be conducted either using a breathalyser or as a separate saliva test, with no additional cost for alcohol testing.
Hair alcohol testing (with optional blood analysis)
Our hair alcohol testing is typically performed alongside a hair drug test, but can also be done independently if required. Prices for hair alcohol testing start from £361 for an EtG analysis, which measures alcohol consumption over the past 3 months.
For a more detailed assessment, we offer both EtG and FAEE analysis for £536.
If you need a comprehensive analysis of alcohol intake, including blood alcohol testing, the total cost is £706. This combination provides a thorough evaluation of both recent and long-term alcohol use.
Contact us for more information on our hair alcohol testing options and how they can meet your specific needs.
PEth alcohol testing
The PEth alcohol test is a less invasive alternative to venous blood alcohol testing. It directly analyses alcohol markers in the blood, offering an accurate assessment of alcohol consumption. The cost for the PEth alcohol test is £326 per person.
Urine drug and alcohol testing
Our urine drug and alcohol tests are among the most popular choices for workplace drug testing and pre-employment screenings. We offer two options:
- Rapid Urine Drug Screen: A quick and cost-effective option, starting as low as £60 per person, depending on the number of employees or donors being tested.
- Urine Laboratory Screen and Confirmation Drug Test: This option provides more detailed and accurate results, starting at £72 per person.
For single appointments at one of our clinic locations, the costs are £162 for the rapid screen and £186 for the laboratory test.
Alcohol testing can be included at no extra cost and can be conducted using a breathalyser, urine test, or saliva test, based on your preferences.
Hair drug testing
Hair drug testing is a popular choice for private individuals who need to demonstrate abstinence, particularly in legal settings such as court cases. Our hair drug test starts at just £266 for a 3-month analysis of a single drug.
For those requiring a more comprehensive test, we offer a special 9-panel drug test, which includes testing for multiple substances, at a discounted price.
Hair drug and alcohol testing including blood alcohol analysis
Our comprehensive hair drug and alcohol testing service includes both hair-based testing for drugs and alcohol, as well as blood alcohol analysis for a thorough evaluation. Discounts are available when ordering this combined test.
For more details and to discuss pricing options, please call us for further information.
Breath alcohol testing
While typically conducted alongside a urine or saliva drug test, we also offer breath alcohol testing as a standalone service using Home Office-approved breathalysers. The cost starts from just £48 per person, or £162 for a single appointment at one of our clinics.
Payment Options
Depending on whether you are a commercial or private client, there are several payment options available to you.
Split payment for your drug test - private clients only
You can spread the cost of your laboratory-based drug and alcohol test by paying in two parts. The first payment is due when you book your appointment. Then the second payment is due before we release your test results. Call 0800 988 7107 for further details.
Drug and alcohol testing order confirmation for commercial clients
For one off, or ad hoc drug and alcohol testing, commercial clients will be asked to sign an order confirmation. This provides the details of the service requested and the quoted costs. Payment is due prior to testing until a credit payment history has been established.
Service Level Agreements
For more regular drug and alcohol testing needs, we provide an SLA with associated operational documents where applicable. This prevents the need for a new order confirmation for every test. Also, it provides clear and consistent information each and every time drug and alcohol testing is required.
