Choose Between Urine or Hair Drug Testing in Waterbury, CT

Accredited Drug Testing offers various testing options based on client needs. Urine testing, with a detection period of 1 to 5 days, is the common method for employers, courts, and schools. However, hair testing is increasingly used due to its 90-day detection period.

Selecting the Suitable Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels, like 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, determine how many substances are screened. Customized options are available.

The Essence of Drug Testing

A drug test is an analytical evaluation of a biological sample—urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—that identifies the presence of particular substances or their metabolites. Drug testing's primary uses include identifying performance-enhancing steroids or screening prohibited substances for employers and legal authorities. Breathalyzer tests ascertain blood alcohol content, whereas urinalysis dominates in workplaces and sports contexts. Various methods with diverse accuracy, sensitivity, and detection times are available. Some tests quantitatively analyze illegal drugs to promote responsible usage.

Implications of Passive Smoke on Marijuana Tests

Passive smoke inhalation from cannabis will not result in a false positive, as cutoff levels in labs are set beyond what environmental exposure can trigger.

Irregular urine screen results could indicate a negative false or sample tampering, as illustrated by:

• Low creatinine levels suggesting sample dilution by excessive water intake or water addition.
• Creatinine and specific gravity readings together can indicate dilution; labs may add dye to toilet water to prevent sample tampering.
• Attempts to alter stability with enzymes often change the pH, which labs also test for.

Factors Affecting Drug Detection Periods

The detection window varies based on:

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of intake
• Type of substance
• Individual's metabolic rate and health
• Fluid and exercise level post-consumption
• Genetic factors influencing drug response
