Select Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing Methods in Walnut Creek, CA

Accredited Drug Testing provides various testing options to meet different customer needs. The urine test, with a 1 to 5-day detection timeframe, is commonly preferred by employers, courts, and schools. Conversely, hair testing is gaining popularity due to its longer detection period of up to 90 days.

Preferred Urine and Hair Drug Tests

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test panels are classifications based on screening scope. Common choices include the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests (indicating the number of drugs tested), though tailored testing is offered.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test involves examining a biological sample—urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect specific drugs or their byproducts. These tests serve critical roles in sports, employment, legal monitoring, and law enforcement. Various methods exist, each with distinct efficiency, sensitivity, and detection windows. Some tests quantify illicit drug levels to support informed consumption.

Impact of Passive Marijuana Smoke on Testing

"Passive" marijuana smoke exposure, such as being in a room with smokers, is not regarded as resulting in false positives, as lab cutoffs exceed levels that passive inhalation may produce.

Urine screening abnormalities might suggest false negatives or tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine can indicate diluted samples, either by water consumption pre-test or direct addition post-collection.
• Creatinine levels, alongside specific gravity measures, help identify tampered samples. Test labs sometimes tint toilet water to curb direct dilution.
• Some may introduce enzymes to alter sample stability, but this may affect pH, which is also examined.

Drug Retention in Your System

How long drugs remain detectable in your system depends on several factors, including:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Consumption frequency
• Drug type
• Individual metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Exercise post-intake
• Genetic factors influencing drug reactions
