Drug Testing State of the Union Address 2021

What drug testing trends can you expect to see in 2021? Should your drug testing program change based on the latest substance abuse statistics?

Workplace drug testing has been a hot topic this past year and will become even more important in 2021. The country is experiencing an increase in drug positivity results, especially since the legalization of marijuana in many states. Additionally, increased stress from the COVID-19 pandemic is causing greater use of illicit drugs and alcohol.
