Accredited Drug Testing offers multiple testing methods tailored to individual needs. The urine test, with a detection period of 1 to 5 days, is commonly used by employers, legal courts, and schools. On the other hand, hair testing is gaining popularity due to its 90-day detection capability.

Which Drug Testing Panel Suits You?

Drug tests are grouped into panels, with 5, 10, and 12-panel tests being among the most common. These panels refer to the number of substances screened in a test, but customization is also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample, like urine, hair, blood, breath, or saliva, to determine if specific drugs or their metabolites are present. Primary uses include detecting steroids in sports, enforcing legal prohibitions on certain substances for employers, and legal authorities testing for excessive alcohol consumption via blood alcohol content (BAC). Breathalyzers mostly manage BAC evaluations, while urinalysis is prevalent in occupational and sports settings. Varying methods with different levels of accuracy, sensitivity, and windows of detection are available. Additionally, drug tests may quantify the presence of an illicit drug as an aid for informed usage.

Can Secondhand Marijuana Smoke Trigger a Positive Test?

Exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke is not regarded as grounds for a positive test, as lab thresholds are established well above what is possible from passive inhalation.

Anomalies during urine screening could suggest false negatives or intentional sample tampering. Considerations include:

• A low creatinine count indicating excessive water intake before testing or sample dilution.
• Creatinine and specific gravity checks aid in determining if urine samples are diluted. Labs may dye toilet water blue to avoid sample contamination.
• Attempts to alter urine with enzymes might affect pH, which is also tested.

How Long Do Drugs Remain in the Body?

The detection window—or look-back period—of drug tests depends on several factors:

• Quantity of substances consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of substance ingested
• Individual metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake post-ingestion
• Exercise levels post-ingestion
• Genetic differences affecting drug metabolism
