Hair follicle testing is one of the drug testing industry’s most popular drug tests. It is used very often in court cases when judicial decisions hinge on drug test results, and it’s also many employers’ preferred drug testing method, especially when checking people who work in positions that rely on safety and reliability.
How Does Hair Follicle Testing Work?
When someone intakes drugs, in any method, the drug will enter the bloodstream. The bloodstream connects the entire body, including the hair follicle and hair shaft.
If drugs are in your bloodstream, they will make their way to the hair shaft and into the protein (called keratin) that’s part of your hair.
When we perform your hair drug test, our trained collectors will collect a pencil-sized hair strand (ideally from the crown of the head and as closely to the scalp as possible) and send it off for testing. It will be liquified with a chemical compound that will then test for the presence of drugs.
Hair follicle testing is also very applicable in situations where public testing of many people is needed, such as for random employee drug testing. Collection is easy, which is not to say everyone is capable of doing so and testing properly, even with specifically-oriented lab kits. Given the need for reliable tests and results you can trust, Test Smartly Labs is the best chance you have at accurate, affordable, and efficient testing for your unique purposes.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Signs, Symptoms and Statistics
Prescription drug abuse implies taking prescription medication was not given to you by the doctor, or taking your prescription medication in a manner that differs from the instructions. While taking prescription medication is not perceived as equivalent to taking illegal street drugs, the consequences can be equally harsh.
Why Do Businesses Need Random Employee Drug Tests?
Do you remember the last time you applied for a new job? Or perhaps you are a hiring manager at the business who has accepted many applications and interviewed potential hires. One common part of the hiring process is the pre-employment drug test. No matter what side of the process you are on, this drug test is designed to ensure that the company ends up with the best employees possible who will be able to perform their duties safely and successfully.
Hair follicle testing is popular for other reasons.
Here’s why:
14-90 days – a hair drug test will most accurately detect drug use within this window of time.
Chronic users - The affordability, reliability and speed of results make it one of the best tests for chronic drug users.
3-5 days – that’s how quickly you’ll get the test results.
No cheating - there’s no proven way to cheat a hair follicle drug test.
Non-invasive - Particularly when compared to tests that involve collecting urine, hair follicle tests simply require plucking a few strands of hair from the scalp.
