Options for Drug Testing Methods: Urine or Hair in San Rafael, CA

Accredited Drug Testing offers various methods to meet customer needs. Urine testing, with a detection window of 1 to 5 days, is the most common choice for employers, legal entities, and educational institutions. Hair tests, with a 90-day detection period, are increasingly used for their extended look-back capability.

Select the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

A drug test panel refers to the grouping of substances screened. Common choices include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with options for customization.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test analyzes a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect certain drugs or their byproducts. Drug tests are pivotal in various contexts, including sports, employment, legal, and law enforcement scenarios. BAC tests measure alcohol levels using a breathalyzer, while urinalysis predominates in workplaces and sports. Numerous methods are available, each with unique detection capabilities and sensitivity. Drug tests can also quantify illegal substances to promote responsible usage.

Impact of Passive Smoke on Marijuana Test Results

Inhaling marijuana smoke passively is typically not recognized as valid for positive test results, due to lab thresholds being set much higher than passive exposure would cause.

Anomalies in urine tests could suggest false negatives or sample tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine levels could mean sample dilution, either by excessive water consumption before testing or direct water addition.
• Creatinine and specific gravity tests are used to detect dilution. To prevent tampering, lab features, like blue-colored toilet water, are employed.
• Attempts to alter sample stability with enzymes can affect pH, which is also tested.

Drug Metabolism Duration

The detection window for drug tests, also called the look-back period, depends on several factors including:

• Drug dose
• Usage frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolism and health
• Fluid intake after the drug was taken
• Physical activity post-intake
• Genetic factors influencing drug processing
