The Future of Drug Testing: Hope, Innovation & Responsibility

At J C On-Site Testing LLC, our mission has always been rooted in purpose—protecting lives, families, and workplaces from the devastation of substance abuse. That’s why we’re excited to share insights from the 27th Annual Drug Testing Industry Survey by the Current Consulting Group. This year’s report paints a hopeful picture for those of us dedicated to building safer communities.

🌟 Key Takeaways for 2025

1. Drug Testing Remains Strong—Despite Challenges Even with changing marijuana laws and a shifting economy, the industry remains resilient. The majority of providers report steady or growing sales, indicating continued employer commitment to drug-free workplaces.

2. Rapid Testing Is on the Rise Point-of-collection testing (POCT), also known as rapid-result testing, is gaining momentum. Over 96% of industry professionals expect its use to grow or remain steady. This is especially important for on-site providers like us, where speed, accuracy, and convenience matter.

3. Oral Fluid Testing: The Emerging Leader Oral fluid testing is making waves, particularly in states like California and Washington where new marijuana laws are affecting traditional urine testing methods. As regulations evolve, oral fluid testing is becoming a preferred option for many employers. We are trained and prepared for DOT oral testing!

4. Pre-Employment Testing Is Still Vital Despite headlines suggesting otherwise, most employers continue to drug test new hires. This helps ensure workplace safety and reduces long-term risks—values we share deeply with the communities we serve.

5. Legal Marijuana = Complex Decisions The report reveals that while some employers have dropped marijuana from their drug panels, many are holding firm, recognizing that safety should always come first. Your testing policy should reflect your values and comply with state laws—and we can help you craft the right plan.

6. Education and Training Matter More Than Ever Employers and providers alike are seeking up-to-date training and compliant policies. As regulations shift and new technologies emerge, staying educated is crucial. We proudly offer supervisor and employee training as part of our commitment to long-term impact.

7. The Industry Is Innovating for a Safer Tomorrow From faster test results to non-drug impairment screening, innovation is driving the future. These tools are especially helpful in today’s hiring climate, where clarity and quick decision-making are essential.
