Urine drug testing is a key diagnostic and therapeutic tool that is useful for monitoring the ongoing status of a person who is being treated for addiction. Test results provide drug-specific identification to support clinicians treating patients with substance use disorders (SUD). UDT testing is appropriate during inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment, and is particularly appropriate at the onset of a course of treatment. It can also serve as a deterrent to substance use and increase the likelihood of successful abstinence.
