What is a “False Positive” in Drug Testing?

A false positive result can occur on a presumptive test (e.g., EIA) when the test indicates a drug is present, even though it is not. This can happen when certain substances — like prescription or over-the-counter medications, supplements, or other compounds — share a similar chemical structure to the drug being tested for and cross-react with the test.

🔎 Key things to know:
• False positives are not universal — they can vary by test, lab, or point-of-care device.
• They apply only to presumptive tests, not definitive ones.
• Not all substances that may cause false positives are known.
• The only way to confirm a presumptive positive is with definitive testing (e.g., LC/MS/MS).

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic medical condition that changes brain chemistry, making it difficult for individuals to control their use of substances — even when it causes harm.
Some commonly misused substances include:
- Prescription opioids (pain medications)
- Benzodiazepines (anxiety/sleep medications)
- Stimulants (ADHD medications, co***ne, methamphetamine)
- Alcohol and other depressants

Understanding the risks and signs of misuse is a critical step in prevention. By raising awareness, supporting early intervention, and encouraging open conversations, we can help reduce the impact of SUD.

As we recognize Substance Use Prevention Month, let’s continue to spread knowledge that empowers healthier choices.

Learn more about Substance Use Disorder:

Prevention stops problems (such as substance use or misuse) before they start. Prevention promotes health, wellness, and well-being.
