Service Description

Hair follicle drug testing is a reliable method used to detect long-term drug use, typically covering a detection window of up to 90 days. This testing method identifies drug metabolites embedded in the hair shaft, providing a comprehensive history of substance use over time. During the collection process, a trained collector obtains a small sample of hair, usually from the crown of the head. Only a minimal amount is required, and the procedure is discreet, non-invasive, and painless. The sample is collected under secure conditions to maintain proper identification and chain-of-custody standards, then sealed and sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. Hair follicle testing is commonly used in court-ordered cases, workplace drug testing programs, and situations where extended detection is necessary to assess patterns of drug use. 🔬 Substances Tested (Up to 10-Panel) Hair drug testing can screen for a range of substances, including: -Marijuana (THC) -Cocaine -Opiates (morphine, codeine, heroin) -Amphetamines -Methamphetamines -Phencyclidine (PCP) -Benzodiazepines -Barbiturates -Methadone -Oxycodone / Synthetic opioids Panels may vary depending on testing requirements, legal standards, or client needs.
