A 9 panel drug test is a confirmatory toxicology test whose results are used definitively for diagnosis and treatment of long term and short term drug abuse. The testing proves effective in detection and treatment of illegal or banned drug/alcohol abuse. A 9 panel drug test is carried out to test alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methadone, opiates, phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol. The test may be ordered for forensic information, medical screening, and monitoring pain management medication. Athletes and employees are also tested. A person with drug abuse has drowsiness, small or dilated pupils, seizures, delirium and irregular heart-beats. Difficulty in breathing, agitation and nausea is felt too.
