A urine drug test, also known as a urine drug screen or a UDS, is a painless test. It analyzes your urine for the presence of certain illegal drugs and prescription medications. Urine drug test are generally more affordable and ideal for detecting recent drug use as illegal substances are immediately present in the urines. Given that everyone functions differently, there are numerous factors that may influence how long drugs remain in the system. Some of these factors include the amount of drugs consumed, metabolic rate, and volume of fluids excreted following drug use. Except for marijuana, which can leave detectable taint in the urine for up to a week or up to a month, other most illegal substances remain in the urine for up to a week.
