Drug & Alcohol Testing Programs
FirstLab is prepared to provide a package of services that are of the highest quality, created by well-qualified professionals, and at a reasonable cost. With clinical expertise and a combined total of over 50 years of toxicology and laboratory experience, FirstLab is uniquely equipped to provide efficient, confidential, consulting services.
We offer our clients the financial stability and international scope of a large corporation, while meeting their drug and alcohol testing needs wherever they are identified. At the same time, we've retained the advantages of a small, local business: immediate, friendly customer service, personal attention to detail, and instant access to the pioneering experts in the drug-free workplace field (…see Key Personnel).
FirstLab is a Third Party Administrator (TPA), not an analytical laboratory, specializing in the outsourcing of the design, implementation and management of drug and alcohol testing programs.
