I needed to do a drug screening, for a job I just accepted. I looked at the different choices that the company was giving me, and I chose Columbus Health and Wellness because there was an opportunity to schedule the appointment, guaranteeing that I would get in at a certain time. In addition, I was very pleased to find that there is a way to schedule that appointment online!
On the day of my appointment, I arrived about 15 minutes early. There are plenty of parking spaces, right next to the door. And I was in and out in about five minutes. It did help that I chugged a vitamin water and the rest of my coffee before going in lol.
I want to address something that I’ve seen in the other reviews… That the people were incredibly rude/cold. I think we have to remember what kind of job this is, they have to be incredibly careful with the samples they’re collecting, and not making any mistakes along the way. Instead of seeing it as cold, I saw him as being incredibly efficient!
If you’ve never done a drug screening before, here’s what you should expect:
- they’ll ask for your drivers license as soon as you get there. And the staff will disappear for a little bit while he’s doing paperwork.
- You’re going to a room and sign your initials and the date, and then before heading to the bathroom, they’ll ask you to leave everything in the office. You cannot bring your cell phone, you cannot bring your purse you cannot bring anything with you.
- They’ll hand you a cup, and you’ll given instructions… Pay very close attention to those instructions, because if you do anything differently it will invalidate your test.
- like I mentioned above, it’s very helpful to have been drinking a lot of liquids throughout the day, and then chugging liquids right before you go. Yes water is always the best if you have it available.
