Types of Drug Testing: Urine or Hair in Hoover, AL

Accredited Drug Testing offers multiple testing methods based on customer requirements. Commonly, urine tests—which have a detection span of 1 to 5 days—are used by employers, courts, and educational institutions. However, hair analysis is gaining popularity due to its approximate 90-day detection period.

Understanding Common Urine and Hair Drug Tests

A 5-panel drug test, whether using urine or hair, screens for the same substances, but the detection window varies. Urine tests offer a look-back period of 1 to 5 days, while hair tests can detect usage up to 90 days from the sample collection date.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels, such as 5, 10, or 12-panel tests, define the number of drugs screened. We also offer customizable screenings based on specific client requirements.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test involves the technical analysis of biological specimens—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect parent drugs or their metabolites. Drug tests are used for detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, employers and legal authorities screening for illegal substances, and law enforcement checking BAC (blood alcohol content). Systems like urinalysis are widely used, with other methods like breathalyzers for BAC offering varying accuracy and sensitivity.

Can Secondhand Marijuana Smoke Trigger a False Positive?

Passive marijuana smoke inhalation is unlikely to cause a false positive, as laboratory cut-off levels surpass concentrations from passive exposure.

Other discrepancies in urine samples may signal false negatives or sample tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine levels suggesting illicit sample dilution with water.
• Creatinine and specific gravity tests confirming sample authenticity.
• Additives that alter sample stability, often detected through pH testing.

Duration of Drug Retention in the Body

Numerous factors influence a drug's detection window, including:

• Quantity consumed
• Usage frequency
• Type of substance
• Metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake
• Physical activity level
• Genetic factors affecting drug metabolism
