An instant urine drug test, also known as a rapid or point-of-care urine drug test, is a type of drug screening method that provides quick results, typically within a few minutes. This test is designed to detect the presence of drugs or their metabolites in a person's urine to determine if they have recently used specific substances.

The collected urine sample is subjected to a chemical analysis, usually through a dipstick or a test card containing specific reagents or antibodies that react with the metabolites of various drugs. If a particular drug or its metabolites are present in the urine, it triggers a visible reaction, such as a color change or a line appearing on the test device.
