Choose Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing Methods in Hamden, CT

Accredited Drug Testing offers various testing options tailored to client needs. Urine testing, with a detection period of 1 to 5 days, is frequently chosen by employers, courts, and educational institutions. Conversely, due to a prolonged detection period of approximately 90 days, hair testing has gained popularity.

Urine vs. Hair Drug Tests: What's Most Common?

Choosing the Right Drug Test Panel

A drug test panel identifies which substances will be screened for. Popular options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel drug tests (the "panel" term indicates the number of drugs screened), but custom screening options are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to determine the presence or absence of specific drugs or metabolites. Applications include detecting steroids in sports, screening for illegal drugs by employers or probation officers, and measuring alcohol levels in blood, referred to as BAC (Blood Alcohol Content), usually through a breathalyzer. Urinalysis prevails in sports and the workplace. Additional methods vary by accuracy, sensitivity, and detection period. Drug tests may also analyze illegal drugs for responsible use insights.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?

Inhalation of "passive" smoke, like being in a smoke-filled room, isn't considered a valid reason for a positive marijuana test since lab cut-off levels are much higher than sufficient for passive inhalation outcomes.

Irregularities in urine tests may suggest a false negative or intentional sample tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine may signal sample tampering, either through excessive water intake before the test or water added to the urine.
• Creatinine levels often correlate with specific gravity to detect dilution. Testing centers may color toilet water blue to prevent dilution from toilet water.
• Attempts to stabilize urine samples with enzymes may result in pH alteration, detectable during testing.

Drug Retention in Your System

The detection window, or look-back period of a drug test, depends on multiple factors. How long drugs stay in your system may be influenced by:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Frequency of drug use
• Type of drug
• Metabolic rate and general health
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Activity level after intake
• Genetic differences affecting individual drug responses
