Select Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing in Pontiac, MI

Accredited Drug Testing offers a variety of testing methods to suit different requirements. Urine testing, with a detection period of 1 to 5 days, is a popular choice among employers, courts, and schools. Alternatively, hair drug testing is increasingly utilized due to its 90-day detection span.

The 5-panel urine and hair drug tests screen for the same substances, but their detection times vary. While urine tests typically detect drug use within the last 1-5 days, hair tests can extend detection up to 90 days post-collection.

Choosing the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

Drug tests are classified into panels based on the number of drugs screened. The standard options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with customization available.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug testing entails analyzing biological specimens, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify specific drugs or their metabolites. Key applications of drug testing include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, employers screening for illegal substances, and law enforcement testing for alcohol levels in blood, known as BAC (blood alcohol content). Breathalyzers often administer BAC tests, while urinalysis prevails in sports and workplace drug assessments. Various techniques exist with differing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection durations. Drug testing can also quantify illegal drugs chemically, aiding in responsible usage.

Does Secondhand Smoke Cause Marijuana Test Failures?

"Passive" smoke exposure—being in a room with marijuana smokers—is unlikely to result in a positive test since testing thresholds are set higher than what would result from passive inhalation.

Nevertheless, some anomalies in urine tests could suggest false negatives or intentional sample alteration. For example:

  • Low creatinine levels may indicate sample tampering, either through excess water consumption by the subject before testing or by adding water to the sample.
  • Creatinine measurements, when combined with specific gravity readings, help identify sample dilution. To prevent dilution, coloring may be added to toilet water at the testing site.
  • Subjects might add enzymes to stabilize urine, affecting pH levels, which are also monitored.

Drug Presence Duration in the Body

The detection or look-back period for drug tests is influenced by numerous factors. These include:

  • Drug quantity used
  • Usage frequency
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolic rate and health
  • Fluid intake post-drug use
  • Physical activity since drug use
  • Genetic factors affecting drug responses

Local Area Info: Pontiac, Michigan

Pontiac is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan, located in Metro Detroit. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 59,515. It is the county seat of Oakland County and about 12 miles (19 km) north and slightly west of the Detroit city limits.

Founded in 1818, Pontiac is notably the second European-American organized settlement in Michigan within close proximity to Detroit, second only to Dearborn. It was named after Pontiac, a war chief of the Ottawa people who had occupied the area before the European settlers. The city achieved its widest reputation for its General Motors automobile manufacturing plants of the 20th century, which were the basis of its economy and contributed to the wealth of the region. These included Fisher Body, Pontiac East Assembly (a.k.a. Truck & Coach/Bus), which manufactured GMC products, and the Pontiac Motor Division. In the city's heyday, this was the primary automobile assembly plant where the famed Pontiac cars were produced, a brand that was named after the city. (The Pontiac name was discontinued by General Motors in 2010.) The City of Pontiac also was home to Oakland Motor Car Company, which was acquired by General Motors in 1909.

In 1975, the city built the Pontiac Silverdome, the stadium that hosted the Detroit Lions of the National Football League from 1975 to 2001, when the team returned to Downtown Detroit at Ford Field. Super Bowl XVI was played at the Silverdome in 1982. After 2001, the stadium continued to be used for concerts and other events until it was demolished in 2017.
