Recov Trek/Affinity Test Codes Mean Nothing

Published

I've seen probably 40 threads over the last 15 years asking about what Option 1 or 6 or A, B C, etc test for. All of them Test for everything in theory and I recommend putting Options out of your head and treating each time you are selected as if you are being tested for everything and here is why....

Add Ons. A Case Manager commonly, regularly, happens all of the time, does Add Ons to whatever Option you are selected for. Labcorp and Quest who have contracts with monitoring programs allow case managers to do so many Add ons Without it costing extra money. Let's say you study up and find out what Recovery Trek Option 2 tests for. Right off the bat, you assume that whatever is listed for Option 2, is all that you are being tested for and that's what gets nurses in trouble.

In addition to Option 2 that you were selected for or whatever Option you were selected for, a case manager can add 1, 2, 3, or even 4 Add on drugs to test for in ADDITION to Option 2 and you will never know about it unless you turn up positive. It takes the case manager literally 10 seconds with the click of a mouse the amount of time to put in the Add ons order.

Common add ons are Neurontin, Salvia, Kratom, Inhalants, Dextromethorphan, and Benadryl.

The above is why it's absolutely meaningless to get worked up about which "Option" you are selected for and trying to figure out what is tested for in that Option BECAUSE most of the time, you are going to be tested for MORE than what is in the Option you see on the cell, laptop, or PC. 

It's worth your while to assume that no matter whatever Option you are selected for, you are/could be tested for everything and you can almost guarantee that you are being tested for MORE than what the Option covers and you are resting in a false sense of security.

They love to get nurses by regularly testing them for the same Options for 3 or 4 or 6 months. They know the nurse will research and figure out what is tested for in that Option. After a few months, they start increasing Add Ons to that routine Option and it's the Add On that gets the nurse nailed because 95 out of 100 nurse have no clue about add ons. The nurse after a few months of being tested for the same Option over and over starts to use a substance that is Not part of that Option, but the Add On gets them caught.

Assume that each time you are selected, you are being tested for everything and oh yea, the case manager/monitoring program does NOT have to tell you legally that you have add ons. They don't have to legally tell you and you can rest assured, they won't tell you about Add Ons......understand until you turn up positive.

No it doesn't vary by program. Legally, a program manager does NOT have to tell you if they do add ons and what the Add on are. Some WILL tell you and that's nice. It's kind. It's cool, but legally, they don't have to tell in any of the 50 states because if you are under consent order and in monitoring you have already given implicit and explicit permission to have random testing done and part of thst includes them not having to tell you what you are tested for and they don't even have to give you results if they don't want to, so that part actually does not vary. 

The only thing that varies is whether a case manager tells you and most do not yell you, but it doesn't matter either way, the point is that if you are selected for Option A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, etc., you can rest assured thst you are on most occasions, being tested for MORE than what those options test for.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the E- panels and O- panels? Like do they mean different things or get the results back quicker? Or is one blood vs urine?
