Professional Hair Follicle Drug Testing

Hair drug testing, often called a hair follicle drug test, is a laboratory-based test that can help identify a longer history of drug use. This type of test is commonly used when a short detection window is not enough.

Who Uses Hair Drug Testing?

Hair drug testing is frequently requested when someone needs a longer look-back period or more detailed drug-use history documentation.

• Employers conducting pre-employment or workplace testing
• Attorneys requesting documentation for legal matters
• Courts or probation-related cases
• Parents or family law matters where drug-use history is relevant
• Treatment programs and recovery monitoring situations
• Individuals who need personal drug testing records

Employers in Florida may use drug testing as part of a written workplace testing program. Hair testing may be useful for pre-employment screening, safety-sensitive positions, return-to-duty decisions, or other workplace testing needs when permitted by company policy and applicable law.

Employer hair testing may help with:

• Pre-employment screening
• Workplace safety programs
• Reasonable suspicion documentation

How Hair Drug Testing Works

Step 1: Schedule Your Test

Call 407-608-4650 or visit www.drugtestingnearyou.com to request a hair drug test.

Step 2: Provide a Hair Specimen

A trained collector will obtain a small hair specimen, usually from the head. If head hair is not available, alternate body hair collection may be considered depending on the testing requirements.

Step 3: Laboratory Testing

The specimen is sent to a laboratory for testing. Results are typically reported after laboratory processing and review according to the test ordered.

Step 4: Receive Documentation

Results may be used for employer, attorney, court, probation, treatment, or personal documentation purposes, depending on the reason for the test.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Drug Testing

How far back does a hair drug test go?

Hair drug testing is commonly associated with an approximate detection window of up to 90 days. The actual detection period may depend on hair length, growth rate, drug use pattern, and the specific test ordered.

Is a hair drug test the same as a hair follicle test?

People often use the term “hair follicle test,” but the actual specimen collected is usually hair, not the follicle itself.

Is hair testing better than urine testing?

It depends on the purpose of the test. Hair testing is useful for a longer look-back period. Urine testing is often better for more recent drug use.

Can hair drug testing be used for court or probation?

Yes, hair drug testing may be requested for court, probation, attorney, family law, treatment, or personal documentation purposes when appropriate.
