CHECK YOUR DRUGS

Stay Safe and know what you are taking! Tacoma Needle Exchange offers free and confidential drug checking. Our team uses a variety of techniques (e.g., test strip analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess a sample's major ingredients, fillers and cutting agents, unexpected drugs, and the presence of fentanyl and xylazine.

Drop-off Drug Checking - How it works:

Bring drugs to our Outreach Office at 37th and Pacific or any of our Outreach delivery sites on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 11am until 3pm.

Please note that testing only requires a small residue sample, about 1/2 the size of a grain of rice.

Testing results take about 20 minutes. Too busy to wait? Results can also be emailed, texted, etc.

We carry bacause we care.

Take-home drug testing kits are also available at out office locations.

Grab a Fentanyl test kit from Tacoma Needle Exchange. Draw a shot of the drug and deposit into container. Use a test strip to dip into container, wait until full soaked.

Let test strip sit for 5 minutes, and observe the strip for the appearance of lines. One solid line indicates positive test, two solid lines indicate negative test.

Please note that testing only requires a small residue sample, about 1/2 the size of a grain of rice.
