Understanding the PEth (Phosphatidylethanol) Alcohol
The PEth (Phosphatidylethanol) Alcohol Test at Any Lab Test Now® of Ashburn is a highly specific blood biomarker that reflects sustained alcohol consumption over roughly the prior two to four weeks. PEth forms only when alcohol is present in the body, which makes it far more specific than many older alcohol markers and difficult to influence with incidental exposure. Pricing depends on the order; the transparent price is shown on this page and confirmed before collection, with no surprise charges.
Because PEth looks at a multi-week pattern rather than a single moment, it is widely used in family-law and custody matters, abstinence-monitoring programs, and other situations in Loudoun County where a longer alcohol-use picture is needed. We perform a simple blood draw here in Goose Creek Village under documented, chain-of-custody procedures and send the sample to an industry-standard reference lab.
We collect and process samples; we do not make legal or program decisions. Results can be faxed or sent directly to the court, your attorney, or your monitoring program at no extra charge. If you instead need a point-in-time reading or a shorter window, ask us about our breath alcohol and EtG options.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting is required for a PEth test. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, plus any chain-of-custody or program paperwork from the court, your attorney, or your monitoring program. If you take prescription medication, bring a current list with prescribing details. Staying normally hydrated can make the blood draw easier. There is no way to prepare that alters a PEth result; it reflects your actual alcohol-consumption pattern over the preceding weeks.
During your visit
At check-in you will present your photo ID and any required paperwork. Our collector completes the chain-of-custody form, then performs a standard blood draw, typically a single small sample from your arm. The specimen is sealed, labeled, and initialed in your presence to maintain the documented chain of custody, then prepared for transport to the reference lab. The visit is quick, private, and handled with confidentiality.
Getting your results
PEth results are typically available in about five to seven business days, as this is a laboratory blood analysis. For chain-of-custody collections, results are reviewed before reporting, and we can fax or send the final result directly to the court, your attorney, or your monitoring program at no extra charge. Copies are also available in our secure patient portal. If you need a faster, point-in-time alcohol reading, the breath alcohol test is a better fit.

FAQ
PEth (Phosphatidylethanol) Alcohol Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the peth (phosphatidylethanol) alcohol test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
What period does a PEth test cover?
PEth reflects sustained alcohol consumption over roughly the prior two to four weeks. It captures a multi-week pattern rather than a single moment, which is why it is common in family-law and abstinence-monitoring cases.
How specific is PEth compared with other alcohol tests?
PEth is highly specific because it only forms when alcohol is present in the body, making it resistant to incidental exposure. For a point-in-time reading instead, consider our breath alcohol test, or EtG for a shorter recent window.
What does the PEth test cost?
Pricing depends on the order, so there is no single fixed number. We show transparent pricing on this page and confirm the cost before your blood draw, with no surprise charges added afterward.
