The U.S. Coast Guard typically employs a 5-panel urine drug test for its drug testing requirements. This standard drug test screens for the presence of five commonly abused substances:

  • Marijuana (THC)
  • Cocaine
  • Opiates (including heroin, codeine, and morphine)
  • Amphetamines
  • Phencyclidine (PCP)

These substances are considered to be indicative of recent drug use, and the 5-panel urine drug test is designed to detect their presence in a person's system.
