Toxicology
According to the CDC, the crisis of Opioid addiction is a growing epidemic with 115 Americans dying every day from an opioid overdose. Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a serious health issue in the United States. About 82% of American adults take at least one medication while 29% take five or more. Toxicology testing provides critical information and knowledge that can be used by regulatory agencies and healthcare professionals to put policies in place and administer treatment that limit exposures to substances, reducing the likelihood of adverse drugs events and negative health outcomes.
