I have a question about the drug screens in Texas.Has anyone been ordered to drug screen on the weekend? I have looked for a lab open on weekends and cannot find one. I know we are supposed to call them if this happens, but what can they do?

I've never been called to test on a weekend, or holiday for that matter. The labs I go to are closed then. Used to stress about it, but not anymore. Ya still have to login tho. ...Peace...

I have not but I know people who have. They went to one of those urgent care places like CareNow. I believe one woman called the number on RecoveryTrek (I'm surprised she got ahold of someone on a weekend but she did) and was directed to a 24 hour urgent care place.
Call RecoveryTrek and ask what lab you should use for after hours/weekend testing in your area.
I don't think they will tell me unless I am in that situation at the time. Guess they like the element of surprise..lol
