Drug and Alcohol Employment Background Checks

Drug & Alcohol Employment Background Checks

Drug and alcohol testing are important components of a comprehensive background check process for potential new hires, but can be costly and time-consuming to conduct. With comprehensive substance abuse program administration solutions, LexisNexis® has been making it easier for busy human resources professionals to manage workplace drug and alcohol testing programs for more than 20 years.

Whether used independently or as part of your existing employment background checks, our solutions help safeguard against problems like high absenteeism, unnecessary worker's compensation claims and regulatory compliance.

Reduce Risk, Cost & Hiring Inefficiencies

LexisNexis® has developed innovative technologies such as our Digital Chain of Custody and customizable scheduling, tracking and reporting that help you reduce cost and risk, achieve compliance and streamline your workflow. Our partnerships with a national network of SAMHSA-certified labs and more than 10,000 collection sites provide a full range of testing options:

  • Instant and lab-based testing
  • Mobile collections
  • DOT and Drug-Free Workplace testing
  • Random program administration services

We also make scheduling drug and alcohol testing easier for you, existing employees and candidates with the LexisNexis® National Scheduling Center. Accessible via a toll-free number, the Center can identify a convenient collection site and schedule and confirm an appointment while your applicant or employee remains on the phone.

Access Drug Test Results Instantly

Our drug testing services are designed to help you quickly identify drug-free applicants and put them on the job within hours of the testing process. We also provide you with the proper training materials to help you administer and manage your test results. Instant screening includes:

  • Instant urine screening
    Test for five to nine different drugs—including adulteration testing—with 99 percent accuracy rate and negative results in 15 minutes.
  • Instant saliva screening
    Screening can be performed privately, without the need for special facilities with results available in 15 minutes.
  • Alcohol testing
    Choose from three options to determine alcohol levels: breathalyzer, saliva alcohol test and blood draw.

Optional Fingerprinting Services

Delivering results in three to five hours, our optional electronic fingerprinting services also make it faster and easier to conduct employment background checks. Our solutions require no expensive equipment, using software that integrates with inexpensive desktop scanners and live-scan devices. With our fingerprinting solutions, you can:

  • Capture prints in multiple locations or via our nationwide partner sites
  • Recapture and resubmit prints upon request
  • Reduce clearinghouse & FBI submission costs with print scoring to ensure only high-quality prints are submitted
  • Quickly comply with industry regulations and reduce risk

Additional Support Services

In addition to providing customized onsite or online training sessions, we also provide access to in-house, accredited medical review officers who conduct administrative reviews of both positive and negative test results before they are reported. We can even help you develop policies supporting your company's specific goals and workplace environment.
