If you think you were drugged, get safe and seek medical care first. An emergency department can assess you, treat you and collect samples, and police can collect evidence if a crime may have happened. A lab drug test you collect at home can identify many drugs used to spike drinks, but not all of them, and many leave the body within hours to a few days — so if you choose to test, collect as soon as you can.
Get help first
- If you feel unwell, confused, very drowsy or cannot stay awake, call 911 or go to an emergency department now.
- If you think you were assaulted, the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-656-4673.
- If you want police involved, tell them before you collect a sample yourself — they may want samples collected with a documented chain of custody.
What our lab confirmation can identify
Our at-home drug test with full LC-MS/MS confirmation identifies each drug by name. Relevant to drink spiking, it includes:
- Benzodiazepines: alprazolam (Xanax), a clonazepam (Klonopin) metabolite, lorazepam (Ativan), nordiazepam (a diazepam/Valium metabolite), oxazepam and temazepam
- Sleep medicine: zolpidem (Ambien)
- Ketamine and its metabolite
- MDMA
- Opioids, including fentanyl
- Xylazine
- Carisoprodol (Soma), a muscle relaxant
- ETS, a marker of recent alcohol use
The standard 12-panel screen on its own does not name these individual drugs, so for this purpose add confirmation: urine $178 or fingerstick blood $188 in total. Urine usually has the longer detection window.
What it does not test for
No test covers every drug. Our confirmation does not test for:
- GHB — one of the drugs most often linked with spiking
- Rohypnol (flunitrazepam)
- Scopolamine
- Some over-the-counter sedatives, such as diphenhydramine
A negative result therefore does not prove you were not drugged. A hospital can order specialized testing for these substances.
Why timing matters
Many of these drugs clear quickly. GHB is usually undetectable in urine after about 12 hours, and many others fall below detectable levels within 1–3 days. If you decide to test, collect your first urine sample as soon as possible — but never delay medical care to do it.
This is not a forensic test
An at-home kit is collected without an observer or a legal chain of custody, so it is not a forensic test and may not be accepted as evidence. It is designed to give you private, laboratory-quality information. If a crime may have occurred, let police or a hospital arrange collection.

Talk to a licensed physician
A drug test result is information, not a diagnosis or medical advice. Review your results, any medications you take and any symptoms with a licensed physician, and call 911 or go to an emergency department if someone is in danger. See our medical disclaimer.
