What Does "awaiting Results" Mean At A Methadone Clinic

Updated

We have a copy of required drug tests for the out of custody parent. She is on a methadone treatment and gets tested at a clinic randomly. Most test results have come back negative but one says "awaiting results". What does that mean?

Hi Joanna, I can't say for sure exactly what or why the phrase "awaiting results" would be listed on a random drug screening. Is the test result gleamed from a urine sample, cheek swab or blood test? How many substances does the test screen? Could you call the clinic or lab and simply ask what it means? Could be that an item gave a weak positive so it was sent to a lab to test the sample using more intense methods to get a result. Whatever it is, please keep in mind the phenomenon of the "false positive" result. It's a common occurrence so be very careful with your reaction should this be the case.

Could mean absolutely NOTHING. Just a weird computer glitch. Your energy is intense. Do you have reason to believe your child has slipped? Fallen off the wagon? Call the clinic or lab from which this report was generated. You obviously have a right to a copy of the result, right? I'd think it'd be ok for someone to explain the result to you as well. I don't know your situation so i can only encourage you to think positive unless & until you have some proof there's something to worry about. Also, rather than speculating what the word could mean I'd sure call the phone number on the report. That or go to the lab website. Perhaps you can find out that way. . Let us know how things work out!
