Choosing Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing in Carson, CA

Accredited Drug Testing provides several testing options tailored to client requirements. Urine testing, with a detection window of 1 to 5 days, is predominantly used by employers, courts, and schools. However, hair drug and alcohol testing, known for its approximately 90-day detection period, is gaining popularity.

The Standard Urine or Hair Drug Test

Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test groupings, known as panels, commonly include 5, 10, and 12 panel options, referencing the number of substances screened. Customized options are available as well.

Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test entails the analysis of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva—to detect specified substances or their metabolites. Applications include identifying performance-enhancing drugs in sports and screening for illicit drugs by employers and legal authorities. Blood alcohol content (BAC) is typically tested via breathalyzer, while urinalysis predominates in workplace and sports environments. Multiple methods exist, varying in accuracy and detection periods. A drug test may also quantitatively assess illegal drugs to inform safe consumption.

Can Passive Smoke Cause Marijuana Test Positive?

Inhaling marijuana smoke passively in a social setting is not considered a valid reason for positive results, as lab thresholds are set significantly above passive exposure levels.

Urine test anomalies could indicate false negatives or sample tampering. For example:

• Low creatinine levels may suggest sample dilution by excessive water intake or direct addition of water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, assess sample dilution. Labs may add a dye to toilet water to minimize dilution risks.
• Enzymes added to alter stability can affect pH, which is checked during testing.

Drug Retention Duration in the Body

The detection period, or look-back window, varies depending on several factors, including:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid intake since use
• Physical activity post-consumption
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
