USDTL has been on the cutting edge of substances of abuse testing since 1991. Our goal is to screen for addiction to save a life.
As one Doctor said at the ASA, “Too bad Michael Jackson didn’t take your test. He might be alive today.”

This week Newsweek Magazine ran an article on how dangerously addictive propofol can be.

Newsweek Magazine tells the why and how propofol (the drug they think helped kill the King of Pop) can be dangerously addictive.

Another headline of note that came out this week: Benzodiazepine abuse accounts for almost one third of the emergency room visits in America. Benzodiazepine abuse is the most common prescription drug abused and is involved in one-quarter of all suicide attempts. 

USDTL is here to help.  Helping to save lives is our mission. Researching future assays in drug and alcohol screening is our vision. Visit https://www.usdtl.com/ for more information.
