Choose Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing Methods in Concord, CA

Accredited Drug Testing offers various methods tailored to individual needs. Urine testing, with a detection period ranging from 1 to 5 days, is the most prevalent method used by employers, legal entities, and educational institutions. Conversely, hair drug and alcohol testing are gaining popularity owing to their extended detection window of approximately 90 days.

What is the Standard Urine/Hair Drug Test?

Both the 5-panel urine and 5-panel hair drug tests screen for comparable substances, yet their detection periods differ significantly. The urine test offers a retrospective view of 1-5 days, while the hair test can reveal drug use up to 90 days post-specimen collection.

Which Drug Testing Panel Suits Your Needs?

Drug screening groups are known as panels, commonly including 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, indicating the number of drugs screened. Custom screenings are also available to meet specific needs.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect defined drugs or their metabolites. Primary uses include detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, screening by employers and law enforcement, and determining blood alcohol concentration via breathalyzers in policing activities. Numerous testing methods exist with varying accuracies and detection durations. Additionally, drug tests may quantify illegal substances to promote responsible usage.

Does Passive Smoke Exposure Lead to False Positives for Marijuana?

Exposure to "passive" marijuana smoke in an environment with smokers is unlikely to yield false positives, as laboratory cut-off thresholds are set above concentrations potentially resulting from passive inhalation.

Other irregularities in urine samples may suggest potential tampering or a false negative. Examples include:

• Low creatinine levels, indicating possible tampering by sampling dilution through excess fluid intake or direct sample adulteration.
• Combining creatinine measurements with specific gravity assessments helps verify sample integrity. To prevent dilution, labs may color toilet water blue.
• Subjects might attempt stabilizing enzymes to alter samples, often altering pH levels, which are also tested.

Drug Detection Periods: Duration in the System

Several factors influence drug detection time frames, or look-back periods, including:

• Drug dosage and usage frequency
• Type of drug consumed
• Individual metabolic rate and health condition
• Fluids ingested post-consumption
• Exercise post-consumption
• Genetic variation affecting an individual's drug response
