 Let's Talk About It

  • What Is IV Hydration Therapy?
    IV hydration therapy involves administering fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins directly to the bloodstream through an intravenous line to address dehydration or provide nutrient support.
  • Who Can Benefit From IV Hydration?
    IV hydration is beneficial for individuals experiencing dehydration, fatigue, illness, athletes seeking performance enhancement, and those looking to boost overall wellness.
  • Is IV Hydration Safe?
    Administered by qualified professionals, IV hydration is generally safe. It's crucial to disclose medical conditions and medications during consultation.
  • How Long Does An IV Hydration Session Take?

  • Can I Customize My IV Hydration Treatment?
    Yes, many providers offer customizable IV hydration packages tailored to individual needs, including different combinations of fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals.
  • If I fail a DOT drug or alcohol screen, who is allowed to see my test results?
    The Department of Transportation (DOT) along with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has adopted regulations requiring commercial motor vehicle (CMV) individuals seeking to maintain a commercial driver's license (CDL), must be regularly tested for drugs and alcohol. This information is housed in what is known as a Clearinghouse. Employers looking to hire anyone in a DOT role can access this information. Records of drug and alcohol violations remain in the Clearinghouse for 5 years, or after the DOT driver has completed the return-to-duty process, whichever is later.
  • Can I request a retest if I believe that the results are wrong?
    Yes. A retest can be requested. It is important to list all prescribed medications.
  • What happens if I refuse to test?
    A refusal to drug test, in most cases, has the same or similar response as a failed drug test. Some employers see a refusal as an admission of drug use, and you may be fired. If extenuating circumstances occur, please discuss the situation with your employer prior to your arrival to the test center.
  • Can laboratory specimen collection be painful, and what can be done to minimize discomfort?
    Some laboratory specimen collection methods can be uncomfortable, but healthcare professionals take steps to minimize pain or discomfort, such as using a numbing cream or distracting the patient during the procedure.
  • What should patients do if they have concerns or questions about their laboratory test results?
    Patients who have concerns or questions about their laboratory test results should contact their healthcare provider for guidance and advice. In some cases, additional testing or follow-up may be necessary to clarify results or guide further treatment.
