At First Class Testing, we provide accurate, confidential, and timely testing services to help clients meet these obligations with confidence. We also offer a daily call-in hotline for individuals participating in random urine and alcohol testing programs.

Attorneys, courts, probation officers, and other referring agencies can work with us to establish customized random testing schedules based on their requirements.

Court-ordered testing can have a significant impact on an individual's future, affecting matters such as probation compliance, driver's license restoration, child custody, and other legal proceedings. That's why clients and legal professionals trust First Class Testing for fast, accurate, confidential, and dependable drug and alcohol testing services delivered with professionalism and care.

Individuals may be legally required to undergo drug and alcohol testing in a variety of situations, including:

Child Custody Cases
Courts may require drug or alcohol testing during child custody proceedings when substance use is a factor in determining the child's best interests.

DUI or DWI Cases
Individuals arrested for or convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) may be ordered to complete drug and/or alcohol testing as part of their legal requirements.

Probation Monitoring
Drug and alcohol testing is commonly required as a condition of probation, including federal probation, county probation, drug court programs, and other court-supervised monitoring throughout Michigan.

Court-ordered drug testing typically includes specific instructions outlining the type of test required and the substances that must be screened. If observed collection is required to help ensure the integrity of the testing process and prevent tampering or specimen substitution, those requirements will be clearly stated in the court order.

Alcohol Testing
Alcohol testing options include urine alcohol testing (ETG), and Preliminary Breath Tests (PBT). Urine alcohol testing and PBT testing are affordable, convenient, and easy to administer, making them suitable for a variety of needs, including personal monitoring and legal requirements such as probation alcohol testing.

For workplace testing, however, breath alcohol testing is often the preferred method. Urine alcohol results can be difficult to correlate with current impairment because the legal standard is based on blood alcohol concentration. For employers looking to evaluate possible impairment or monitor compliance with workplace alcohol policies, Michigan Court Services recommends breath alcohol testing as a more appropriate and reliable option.

Drug Testing

First Class Testing offers a wide range of drug screening options designed to detect commonly used and abused substances. Our multi-panel drug tests can screen for substances including Marijuana, Cocaine, Oxycodone, Ecstasy (MDMA), Buprenorphine, Morphine/Opiates, Amphetamines, Fentanyl, Benzodiazepines, Methamphetamines, Methadone, Kratom, and other commonly prescribed and illicit drugs.

For employers and individuals looking for an affordable, reliable, and widely accepted drug testing method, urine testing remains one of the most commonly used options. Urine screenings offer several benefits, including convenience, accuracy, and the ability to detect many substances shortly after use, making them an effective choice for workplace, legal, and personal testing needs.​

Hair and Fingernail Testing

Hair testing has come to be seen as a powerful tool for the detection of drug and alcohol use. Hair provides a long-term history of alcohol and other drugs by trapping biomarkers in the fibers of the growing hair strand. When collected close to the scalp, hair can provide up to approximately a 3-month detection window for alcohol and other drugs. Hair is simple to collect, somewhat difficult to adulterate.

​

Mouth swab drug testing is one of the least invasive methods of drug screening available. Unlike other testing methods, it does not require needles, hair collection from the root, or urine collection. This simple and convenient testing option provides a comfortable experience while offering reliable results for employers and individuals seeking drug screening services.

Why Pre-employment Drug Testing is Essential

Many companies conduct drug testing to take advantage of incentives, such as reductions in workers' compensation insurance rates. In reality, any employer aiming to ensure a safe, productive work environment and minimize the risks associated with employee drug use should implement employment drug testing.

When Employment Drug Testing Typically Occurs

Many companies implement drug testing programs to help create safer workplaces and may qualify for benefits such as reduced workers' compensation insurance costs. However, the primary goal of employment drug testing is to promote a safe, productive work environment while reducing the risks associated with workplace drug and alcohol use.

An effective employee drug testing program may include both pre-employment and post-hire testing. Employers should establish clear testing policies, apply requirements consistently, and ensure employees understand when and why testing may occur.

Pre-Employment Testing
Pre-employment drug testing is the most common form of workplace screening and is typically conducted as a condition of employment before an applicant begins work.

Post-Accident Testing
Post-accident drug testing helps employers determine whether drugs or alcohol may have contributed to a workplace accident or safety incident.

Random Testing
Random drug and alcohol testing allows employers to screen a percentage of employees throughout the year without advance notice. This helps encourage ongoing compliance with workplace safety policies beyond the initial pre-employment screening.

Reasonable Suspicion Testing
When there is a documented concern that an employee may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while at work, reasonable suspicion testing may be required. Employers are encouraged to provide supervisor training to help managers recognize warning signs and properly handle these situations.

Pre-Placement Testing
Pre-placement testing may be used for employees entering a specific position or assignment where additional screening requirements apply.

Return-to-Duty Testing
Employees who have previously violated a workplace drug or alcohol policy may be required to complete return-to-duty testing before resuming work responsibilities.

Drug Testing For Driver's License Restoration

Michigan License Restoration Hearing: Drug Testing

If your Michigan driver's license has been suspended or revoked, there are important steps you must complete to work toward restoring your driving privileges. One of the first steps in the process is obtaining and reviewing a copy of your driving record to understand your current status and identify any potential issues.

It is important to carefully review your Michigan driving record, as well as any records from other states where you have held a license or driven. Checking for outstanding tickets, violations, or other concerns can help ensure you are fully prepared for the license restoration process.

Outstanding tickets, fines, or violations from other states may affect your ability to obtain or restore your Michigan driver's license. For this reason, it is important to review your driving history from any state where you have previously held a license or operated a vehicle.

You can request a certified, complete copy of your driving record through your local Secretary of State (SOS) office. Reviewing your records across all relevant jurisdictions is an important first step in preparing for the Michigan driver's license restoration process and helping ensure you are aware of any issues that may need to be addressed.

Drug and Alcohol-Related Offense Testing

If your driver's license was revoked due to Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), the restoration process can be more complex than many other traffic-related matters. OWI offenses involve operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both.

Before requesting a license restoration hearing, you must complete a substance use evaluation with a state-approved licensed evaluator. If you need assistance finding a qualified evaluator, contact First Class Testing at 586-371-0466 for a referral.

In Michigan, a 12-panel urine drug test is required for driver's license restoration purposes. The specimen must be analyzed for required substances and include appropriate specimen integrity testing. First Class Testing works with a state-approved laboratory to ensure testing supplies, collection procedures, and laboratory confirmations meet Michigan's requirements.

Choosing a testing provider familiar with Michigan's driver's license restoration requirements is essential. Some testing facilities may not understand the specific standards required by the state, which can result in unnecessary delays, additional costs, or testing that may not be accepted. Many clients—including those from outside Michigan—choose First Class Testing because of our experience with the restoration testing process.

To schedule your driver's license restoration drug testing, call 586-371-0466. Our team is here to provide accurate, reliable testing and help you complete this important step in the restoration process.
