Does your facility require tests upon admission? If so, what are they?

Upon admission all patients much submit a urine sample to identify any substance use that needs to be addressed along with a mental health diagnosis.

It is then that patients can be properly diagnosed, and the best treatment plan developed for the course of treatment.
