MROs need to be knowledgeable and experienced in the area of substance abuse. This relatively new field raises many clinical issues, complicated by legal and ethical issues. It is advisable that MROs be independent from the companies, laboratories, and collection sites with which they contract or to which they relate in the process of performing their evaluations.
