Choose Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing in Redwood City, CA

Accredited Drug Testing provides both urine and hair testing options tailored to customer needs. Urine tests are popular due to a detection period of 1 to 5 days, commonly used by employers, courts, and schools. Hair testing, offering a detection window of approximately 90 days, is also gaining popularity.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test categories are known as drug testing panels. 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests are common, indicating the number of drugs screened. We also offer customized screenings.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing involves analyzing biological specimens, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify parent drugs or their metabolites. Commonly, such testing detects performance-enhancing drugs in sports or screens for prohibited drugs for employers and law enforcement, including assessing alcohol levels via BAC tests. Other methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection duration.

Passive Smoke Inhalation and Marijuana Tests

"Passive" smoke inhalation from being in close proximity to marijuana smokers isn't sufficient for a positive result, as lab cut-off levels are set beyond what passive exposure would achieve.

Urine test irregularities might point to false negatives or intentional sample tampering. For instance:

• A low creatinine level can imply sample tampering, perhaps due to the subject drinking excessive water before testing or adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, help verify sample dilution. Test centers may color toilet water blue to prevent sample dilution with toilet water.
• Some may attempt to alter urine sample stability using enzymes, but this often alters the pH, which is also assessed.

Duration of Drug Presence in System

Detection windows, or look-back periods, depend on numerous factors. These include:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Frequency of drug use
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid intake post-drug use
• Exercise post-drug use
• Genetic differences affecting drug processing
