Return to UDT Decision Support
An opiates screening test is a locally determined panel of 5-15 urine drug tests for commonly used/administered opioids along with other legal or illegal substances often used by patients. The Table below provides two example of common UDT Panels. If a screening test is positive an additional confirmatory test is sometimes indicated.
# | Standard Drugs of Abuse | Expanded Drugs of Abuse |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ethyl Alcohol | Ethyl Alcohol |
| 2 | Amphetamine | Amphetamine |
| 3 | Barbuturates | Barbuturates |
| 4 | Benzodiazepines | Benzodiazepines |
| 5 | Cannabis | Cannabis |
| 6 | Cocaine | Cocaine |
| 7 | Opioids | Opioids |
| 8 | Phencyclidine (PCP) | Phencyclidine (PCP) |
| 9 | Propoxyphene | Propoxyphene |
