Select Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing Methods in Laredo, TX

At Accredited Drug Testing, we offer various testing methods to accommodate our clients' needs. Urine testing is the most preferred due to its 1 to 5-day detection period, commonly utilized by employers, courts, and educational institutions. On the other hand, hair testing offers a longer detection span of up to 90 days, increasing in popularity.

Understanding Common Urine and Hair Drug Tests

Both 5-panel urine and 5-panel hair tests detect the same substances, but they differ in terms of detection time. Urine tests offer a history view of 1 to 5 days, whereas hair tests extend the detection window to approximately 90 days from sample collection.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Testing panels determine the quantity of drugs screened. Common types include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests. We can also customize panels according to specific requirements.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes biological samples like urine, hair, blood, or saliva to detect drugs or their by-products. This is crucial for spotting performance-enhancing drugs in sports or monitoring substance use in workplace and legal settings. BAC tests focus on alcohol content, typically analyzed with a breathalyzer or urine sample, offering various levels of sensitivity and detection periods. These may also aid responsible drug use through quantitative analysis.

Does Passive Smoking Result in False Positives for Marijuana?

Exposure to marijuana smoke indirectly is not typically valid for a positive result, as lab cut-off levels are higher than what passive inhalation might achieve.

Certain inconsistencies in a urine sample can indicate tampering or false negatives, such as:

• Low creatinine levels, due to sample dilution from excessive water intake or added water.
• Specific gravity and creatinine measurements help identify diluted samples. Labs might color water blue to deter toilet water adulteration.
• Manipulation via enzyme addition may alter sample pH, which is also analyzed.

Drug Retention in the System—What to Consider

The detection duration of drugs depends on numerous factors like:

• The dosage consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolism and health
• Hydration after use
• Exercise following drug intake
• Genetic differences that affect drug processing
