How Far Back Can a Hair Drug Test Detect Drug Use?
Hair drug testing is commonly used when a longer detection period is needed than is typically available with urine testing.
The actual period represented by a hair sample depends on factors such as the length of hair collected, specimen source, individual hair growth, and laboratory methodology.
If you have been given specific testing requirements, confirm that hair testing meets those requirements before scheduling.
Who May Need a Hair Drug Test?
A hair drug test may be requested for:
- Employment screening
- Workplace drug testing
- Personal testing
- Court or legal requirements when the requested testing protocol is appropriate
- School or program requirements
- Other organizational testing requirements
If another party is requiring your test, bring any paperwork or instructions you received so the appropriate test can be selected.
Hair Drug Test vs. Urine Drug Test
Hair and urine drug testing serve different purposes.
Urine drug testing is commonly used to identify relatively recent drug use and is frequently selected for workplace and employment screening.
Hair drug testing can provide a longer historical window of detection and may be selected when the requesting party wants to evaluate drug-use patterns over a longer period.
The appropriate specimen depends on the purpose and requirements of your test.
How Is a Hair Drug Test Collected?
A trained collector obtains a small hair specimen for laboratory testing. Collection requirements depend on the laboratory and the amount and type of hair available.
If sufficient head hair is not available, contact Bluestar before your appointment so we can determine the appropriate next step based on the laboratory's specimen requirements.
How Long Do Hair Drug Test Results Take?
Results for the 10 Panel Hair Drug Test are generally available in approximately 72–96 hours.
Additional laboratory testing, confirmation, or review may extend the turnaround time.
