Options for Urine or Hair Drug Testing in New Orleans, LA

Accredited Drug Testing provides various testing options based on customer requirements. Urine testing, with a detection time frame of 1 to 5 days, is the most widely used by employers, legal systems, and educational institutions.

Understanding Urine and Hair Drug Tests

A 5-panel urine test and a 5-panel hair test detect the same drugs, but their detection periods differ. This means a urine test can reveal drug use within a 1-5 day span, whereas a hair test covers usage up to 90 days from the sample date.

How to Choose the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels refer to the number of drugs screened within a test, commonly displayed as 5, 10, and 12-panel tests. Customized screenings are available upon request.

Explaining Drug Tests

A drug test involves scientifically analyzing a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect certain drugs or their metabolites. Drug testing is commonly applied in sports, employment, and legal settings to identify banned substances or alcohol levels (BAC). While breathalyzers are used for BAC, urinalysis is the standard method in sports and workplaces. Many other testing methods with varying accuracy levels and detection timelines exist. Additionally, drug tests can quantify the presence of illicit drugs, assisting in responsible usage.

Does Second-Hand Smoke Trigger False Marijuana Positives?

Exposure to marijuana smoke is not likely to result in a false positive, as laboratory cut-off levels exceed those possible through passive inhalation.

Urine test anomalies may suggest false negatives or deliberate tampering, such as:

  • Low creatinine levels may imply diluted samples from excess water consumption or sample adulteration.
  • Creatinine is often assessed with specific gravity to identify dilution. Testing labs may dye toilet water to prevent sample tampering.
  • Enzymes added to samples alter pH levels, which are also monitored during testing.

Drug Presence Duration in the Body

The detection window of a drug test is influenced by numerous factors, including:

  • Drug dosage
  • Usage frequency
  • Type of substance
  • Individual metabolism and health
  • Hydration levels after drug intake
  • Physical activity conducted since intake
  • Specific genetic factors influencing drug metabolism

Local Area Info: New Orleans

New Orleans (/??r?li?nz, ???rl(i)?nz/, locally /???rl?nz/; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuv?l??le??] (listen)) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 393,292 in 2017, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. A major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.

New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the "most unique" in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans in 1840 was the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and flat elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding. State and federal authorities have installed a complex system of levees and drainage pumps in an effort to protect the city.

New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which resulted in flooding more than 80% of the city, thousands of deaths, and so much displacement because of damaged communities and lost housing as to cause a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts have led to a rebound in the city's population. Concerns about gentrification, new residents buying property in formerly closely knit communities, and displacement of longtime residents have been expressed.
