Affinity/Spectrum PETH question

Published

Hey guys. I'm new to testing but I was wondering how often PRN testing is for PETH? I have moderate on my assessment for drinking, but the PETH testing gets so pricey. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with PRN monitoring and PETH testing. I just got one done in February.

I would ask your case manager. In my program, it's roughly every 3 months. Everyone gets PETH tests, not just those who are in monitoring for alcohol related issues. 

If you get a dilute urine, then you have to automatically do a Peth test. However, that peth test does not count towards your every 3 months peth.

Roughly about every 3 months and if you come back dilute or concentrated. At least for NJ- if you're dehydrated and your urine is too concentrated...they peth test you as well.
