Fits clinical schedules
The same-day window gives participants flexibility to complete the assigned test around work obligations while still responding on the selected day.
At-home drug testing
Verified testing that fits real life.
Participants receive random text notifications, complete the assigned saliva or nail collection through video verification at home, and return the sealed test using prepaid shipping.
Convenient without being unverified
At-home collection with an accountability process.
At-home testing can reduce the time, travel, and scheduling burden of traditional site collection, but convenience should not eliminate process integrity. Continuum combines home collection with required video verification and a documented same-day response process.
The participant keeps the assigned testing kits at home so the test can be completed when randomly selected. This is especially practical for healthcare professionals managing long shifts, call schedules, family responsibilities, or limited access to collection sites.
Designed for real schedules
- No appointment for eligible home tests
- Random text notifications
- Participant acknowledgment
- Completion by the end of the day
- Required video verification
- Prepaid FedEx shipment

Practical benefits
Why healthcare professionals choose home collection.
Reduces travel
Participants can avoid unnecessary driving and repeated collection-site appointments for eligible home tests.
Supports privacy
Collection takes place in the participant’s home rather than a public testing location.
Maintains verification
The required video process supports collection integrity instead of relying on an unverified home sample.
Kits are ready in advance
Assigned kits are ordered online and delivered to the participant’s home before a random selection occurs.
Simple return process
Prepaid packaging and FedEx drop-off provide a clear route from completed collection to laboratory delivery.
Part of a monitoring plan
The collection method supports the broader service.
Video-verified at-home testing can be used within both Continuum primary monitoring and post-monitoring drug-testing plans. The specimen type and testing frequency are assigned according to the purpose of the plan.
Continuum provides the monitoring process and participant communication. Laboratory testing is performed after the sealed specimen is shipped according to the provided instructions.
Testing-day responsibility
Participants should keep the assigned kits available, monitor their text messages, acknowledge a selection promptly, and complete the assigned test by the end of the selected day.
