Description:
This test looks for the common drugs of abuse, including an extensive selection of opiates as well as Fentanyl and Methadone. Hair drug testing can typically detect drug use up to 90 days in the past. Most drugs will be detectable in hair starting at 5-10 days after use. Because hair follicle testing looks for drug metabolites, external or second-hand exposure should not cause a false positive result.
Please note that hair follicle testing may not be ideal for detecting casual drug use. This type of test is typically more appropriate for detecting chronic use. This test provides an initial screening with confirmatory testing on any positive results at no additional cost. Confirmatory testing will provide numerical results for any component that tests positive.
This hair drug test looks for:
Hair follicle testing is typically ordered when someone desires a longer detection period than urine testing can provide. Hair testing is more effective than other sample types at detecting long-term drug use. For post-accident testing or more recent use, a urine or blood test may be more appropriate. In some cases, a 5 Panel Urine Drug Test may be ordered along with a hair test for a more comprehensive screening. Customers who do not need the expanded selection of opiates this test provides may also order our 5 Panel Hair Follicle Drug Test.
Turnaround time is typically up to 7 business days. Additional time may be needed for confirmatory testing.

Requirements:
Hair must be at least 1.5-2 inches in length. Hair will be collected from the crown of the head at the scalp. The lab will be required to take a sample of at least 120 strands.
In the event that a person's hair is not long enough, a sample can be taken from body hair. Please note that the window of detection for body hair has not been established. If you are required to take a drug test by another party, it is recommended that you check that a body hair test will meet their requirements.
Please note that not all lab locations are able to perform the collections for hair drug testing.
Please note: This test will not be submitted to a Medical Review Officer (MRO). Please see our MRO Drug Testing category for more options.
This test is intended to screen for drugs of abuse and is not appropriate for pain management or therapeutic monitoring. Customers who require pain management testing should consult their prescribing physician.
