Interpreting oral fluid drug results in prisoners: monitoring current drug intake and detection times for drugs self-administered prior to detention

ConclusionWe confirmed oral fluid as a viable matrix for monitoring drugs of abuse in prisoners. Windows of detection for benzodiazepines and amphetamines were up to 1  week, which is an important consideration for evaluating oral fluid drug testing results. Some likely new drug exposures were observed based on urine and oral fluid drug results, but there were few data to guide these interpretations.
