Pain Management
Urine drug testing (UDT) is a powerful tool in pain management that provides invaluable objective information needed to assist with diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Results of a UDT provide confirmation of the agreed-upon treatment plan (adherence/ compliance). Having regular UDT’s as part of the patients treatment plan allows physicians to diagnose relapse or drug medication as early as possible, and can aide physicians during re-evaluation of current treatment plans.
