"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
Drugs of abuse are illegal drugs used for the non-medication purpose for a longer duration of time. The qualitative tests performed to detect the presence of the illicit drug in the samples such as urine, blood, saliva, or breath are defined as drugs of abuse testing. Use of narcotic drugs is harmful to the body and is also an economic and social burden. Some of the commonly screened drugs are amphetamine, marijuana, opiates, methadone, barbiturates, and others.
Many rapid and on-spot are now available for the testing of drug-abusing. For example, in 2018, the FDA approved OralTox, a rapid oral fluid testing device manufactured by Premier Biotech, Inc. for testing of multiple drugs simultaneously. This device demonstrated greater accuracy than other methods and provided results in less than two hours. These growing technological advancements in drug abuse screening is likely to upsurge the growth of drugs of abuse testing market during the forecast period.
