Choose Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

At Accredited Drug Testing, different testing methods are available to cater to your individual needs.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel for You

Drug tests are categorized by panels reflecting the number of drugs screened. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, although customized screenings can also be arranged.

What Constitutes a Drug Test?

A drug test involves scientific examination of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect specified drugs or metabolites. Common applications include spotting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening by employers and parole officers, and identifying blood alcohol content by police. Methods like urinalysis and breathalyzers are commonly used for varying degrees of accuracy and detection periods. Drug tests may also provide quantitative analysis to assist responsible drug use.

Can Secondhand Smoke Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

Inhalation of marijuana smoke in a shared environment is unlikely to yield a false positive, as analysis thresholds are set above levels expected from passive exposure.

In some cases, abnormal urine results may indicate a false negative or sample tampering. Examples include:

• A low creatinine level may suggest dilution—either excessive fluid intake before testing or sample tampering with added water.
• Creatinine levels, often measured with specific gravity, can determine dilution. Labs may color restroom water to prevent tampering.
• Introducing certain enzymes to destabilize a sample may alter pH, which is also tested.

How Long Do Drugs Remain Detectable?

A drug test detection window varies based on factors such as dosage, drug type, frequency, metabolism, health, hydration, exercise, and genetic predispositions.
