Video Oral Fluid (Saliva) Drug Testing
Cordant Health Solutions® offers a video-observed oral fluid (saliva) drug testing solution for addiction treatment practices and government agencies that allows you to monitor your patients’ adherence to their treatment plans and continue to provide the highest level of care to your most vulnerable patients during these challenging times.
Advantages of Video-Observed Oral Fluid Testing
- Non-invasive and easily observed oral fluid collection can be done conveniently in the patient’s home
- Entire collection process is conducted under video supervision by a remote Cordant collection specialist or a member of your staff
- Useful for high-risk patients when adulteration or substitution of urine samples may be suspected
- For patients on buprenorphine treatment, Cordant offers a lower detection level of buprenorphine, which makes it a useful testing option for addiction and medication-assisted prescribers.
- Supports and complements providers’ existing telehealth platforms
- Allows for continuity of care when in-office testing may not be available, ensuring the patient adheres to their treatment program
- Oral fluid provides information regarding recent use of a drug and better reflects the concentration of the drug in the blood, as compared to urine.
