Understanding a positive drug test result. A positive result on a drug test simply means that the person had a detectable amount of a substance present during a certain window of time. A positive result doesn't necessarily mean that the person is currently intoxicated or experiencing the effects of the substance. A positive result also doesn't necessarily mean that the person has a substance use disorder. 2, record 1, English, - positive%20drug%20test
