Options for Drug Testing in Charlotte, NC: Urine or Hair

Accredited Drug Testing offers a variety of testing methods to meet client needs. Urine testing, with a detection period of 1 to 5 days, is a common choice for employers, legal entities, and educational institutions. Meanwhile, hair drug and alcohol testing is popular for its ability to detect substance use over roughly 90 days.

Frequently Used Drug Testing Methods

Both 5-panel urine and 5-panel hair tests check for the same substances, but they differ significantly in their detection windows. Urine tests have a look-back period of 1-5 days, whereas hair tests provide insights into up to 90 days of drug use from the time of collection.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing analyzes biological specimens such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva for drugs or their metabolites. Uses include detecting steroids in sports, drug prohibition compliance testing, and assessing blood alcohol levels. BAC tests use breathalyzers, and urinalysis is standard in professional and sports settings. Drug tests also assist in analyzing illegal substances to encourage responsible use.

Does Secondhand Smoke Lead to a False Marijuana Positive?

Being around marijuana smokers is unlikely to result in positive tests since lab cut-off levels surpass thresholds for passive inhalation.

Lab results that are unexpectedly negative or suggest tampering may include:

• Low creatinine indicating dilution, either from excessive water intake pre-test or adding water to the sample.
• Assessing creatinine with specific gravity checks for dilution. Labs may tint toilet water to discourage sample dilution.
• Enzyme addition attempts alter pH levels, triggering additional testing.

Drug Detection Timeframes

Detection timelines vary by different factors, including:

• Amount and frequency of drug usage
• Type of substance
• Personal metabolic rate and health
• Fluid intake post-use
• Physical activity levels
• Genetic variables influencing individual drug response
