Drug Hair Testing

Hair Drug Testing

Hair follicle drug testing is a highly effective method for detecting drug use over an extended period. Unlike urine or saliva tests, hair follicle tests can identify drug use for up to 1 year or more, providing a more comprehensive overview of an individual’s drug history.

Hair follicle drug testing is known for its accuracy and long detection window. Here are some key benefits:

  • Extended Detection Period: Hair tests can detect drug use for up to a year or more, making them ideal for long-term monitoring.
  • Non-Invasive: The test involves collecting a small sample of hair, or nail samples which is less invasive than blood tests.
  • Difficult to Manipulate: Hair samples are harder to tamper with compared to other testing methods, ensuring more reliable results.

How It Works

When a person uses drugs or alcohol, the substance enters the body where it’s absorbed into the bloodstream.

The body breaks the substance down into metabolites. These are chemical markers left behind as the substance is processed.

As hair grows, these markers are deposited into the hair follicle.

Once embedded, the metabolites stay in place, preserving the chemical record of substance use over weeks or months.

How It Works

Sample Collection: A small hair sample is collected, typically from the crown of the head. If head hair is not available, body hair or finger nail can be used.

Laboratory Analysis: The sample is sent to our partner laboratory, where it undergoes a series of tests to detect the requested drugs.

Growth rates can vary, we follow the Society of Hair Testing’s guideline that 1cm of growth represents approximately one month. This allows us to segment the hair and map out a timeline of use, either giving a month-by-month breakdown (sectional analysis) or an overview of the last 3 months as a whole.

3 Month Overview Reported

How It Works

Results: You will receive a detailed report outlining the findings, which can be used for legal, employment, or personal purposes.

For a segmented analysis you will receive separate reports for each month where as in an overall analysis you will receive one report covering the full time period requested.

All testing is done under a Chain of Custody process and is admissible in court.
