Mission Statement

The mission of the Cherokee County Drug Lab is to aid Cherokee County Courts in monitoring criminal offenders with alcohol and/or drug related issues and reducing drug and alcohol related recidivism rates by providing reliable, cost effective, random drug and alcohol screening.

 

TO REPORT FOR DRUG TESTING COME TO 94 NORTH STREET, SUITE 118, CANTON, GA 30114

The Cherokee County Drug Lab conducts observed drug and alcohol testing in coordination with the Cherokee County Court System and Accountability Courts. The lab is located at the Historic Courthouse, 94 North Street, Suite 118, Canton, GA 30114. The entrance is on the first floor, enter on the right side of the building. Please read the guidelines for testing when coming to the lab. 

Lab collection hours are 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, seven days a week. *TESTING HOURS FOR MOST ACCOUNTABILITY COURTS ARE 6:00AM-10:00AM*   

Additional testing services, including hair testing, sweat patches, and dried blood spot testing, are available by appointment only. To schedule, call 678-493-6578 or email [email protected]

A valid photo ID is required at the time of testing. Payment is due at the time of service. Accepted forms of payment are money order, certified check, or a credit/debit card in the name of the individual being tested. The standard drug test fee is $35 unless otherwise specified.

If you are court-ordered to test at the Cherokee County Drug Lab, or if you are assigned to the "color wheel," you must check in online or call the hotline and report for testing as instructed, with valid ID and payment. Test results will not be given over the phone. For confirmation of a positive result through forensic testing, a $65.00 payment must be submitted during collection hours within seven days of the original test.
