Drug & Alcohol Testing
Oakland County Drug and Alcohol Testing uses a program called RESULTS. RESULTS uses a Beckman Coulter AU480 Chemistry Analyzer secured through Siemens to perform urine drug and alcohol testing. Siemens’ Syva EMIT® immunoassays are the most widely used and scientifically documented screening tests for drugs of abuse. Syva has been a leading developer and manufacturer of drugs-of-abuse tests for more than 40 years. No other drugs-of-abuse screening tests have a longer or more reliable record. EMIT® test results have been upheld in numerous court decisions and at the highest level of the American judicial system: the United States Supreme Court. For further information regarding Siemens, please visit www.siemens.com.
RESULTS utilizes drug cut-off levels in compliance with the Michigan Association of Drug Court Professionals (MADCP) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). All urine samples are collected under direct observation by a Sheriff’s Deputy (gender specific), which provides for increased sample integrity. In addition, all urine samples are screened for dilution, validity and adulteration.
Results Resources
We are here to serve you!
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is now offering drug and alcohol tests to the public. For a reasonable fee, you can come to one of our RESULTS locations and request a drug test. You can count on us to provide quick and accurate results.
Are you concerned that your child is experimenting with or abusing drugs?
The RESULTS Program is a great resource for you to get straight answers. Bring your child in and we will have a Sheriff’s Deputy (gender specific) witness him/her take a urine drug test so no tricks can be made. By the next day you will get results performed by the Sheriff’s experienced Toxicology Chemists. These results may provide you the peace of mind of knowing whether or not intervention is necessary. The cost for this drug test is $15.
Have there been occasions to suspect that your child had been drinking alcoholic beverages but they denied it?
Bring your child to one the Sheriff’s Office Results sites and a Sheriff’s Deputy can administer a urine alcohol test to determine consumption in the past 80 hours. This test costs $20.
Seek a professional assessment and you won’t have to worry about the limitations and can be assured of accuracy.

Alcohol tests are conducted by collecting urine samples and analyzing the samples using an immunoassay testing technique. This technique analyzes the sample for the presence of Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG), an alcohol metabolite. Ethyl glucuronide has been shown to be a sensitive and specific marker for ethanol consumption and is detectable in urine for up to 80 hours after alcohol has been ingested.
Drug tests are conducted by collecting urine samples and analyzing the sample using an immunoassay testing technique. Urine drug samples are analyzed following either a 2-Panel Presumptive Screen (tests for the presence of Cocaine and Marijuana) or a 5-Panel Presumptive Screen (tests for the presence of Cocaine, Marijuana, Amphetamines, Benzodiazepines and Opiates).
Courts and probation staff receive weekly compliance reports as well as notification of any positive test results the next business day.
