Free Anonymous Drug Testing

Eunpyeong-gu Offers Free Anonymous Drug Testing for Seoul Citizens Starting 28th... Results Within 30 Minutes
Testing for 6 Types Including Marijuana, Cocaine, Philopon, Ecstasy
Secondary Testing Support Available at Eunpyeong Hospital

Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that starting from the 28th, it will implement an ‘Anonymous Drug Testing’ program to early prevent drug crime victims.

In response to the recent increase in random drug distribution cases, such as the drug beverage incident in the academy district, the anonymous drug testing project was swiftly introduced to block the possibility of drug addiction through treatment linkage.

The test is available to all Seoul citizens who wish to confirm exposure to drugs. Excluded are ▲those seeking legal action due to drug crimes ▲those requiring tests related to job performance or qualification acquisition ▲those with prior experience of drug punishment or treatment. Those wishing to be tested must contact designated institutions separately before visiting.

The test covers six substances: marijuana, cocaine, philopon, morphine (opioids), amphetamines, and ecstasy, and is completely free of charge. The anonymous test is conducted at the Diagnostic Laboratory on the 2nd floor of Eunpyeong-gu Public Health Center.

The test is conducted via a urine test using a simple drug test kit, and results can be confirmed within 30 minutes including counseling time. Test results are kept confidential in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act and other regulations.

If the test result is positive, a secondary confirmation test can be supported at Seoul Eunpyeong Hospital to verify the final detection. The secondary test is conducted through a real-name reservation and specialist consultation.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “Exposure to drugs is often delayed in diagnosis due to stigma and avoidance of punishment, increasing additional harm and anxiety. Through this anonymous test, we aim to alleviate anxiety about drug exposure damage and support the rapid social reintegration and recovery of victims.”
