This Hair Follicle Drug Test (5‐Panel) will determine the presence or absence of 5 types of drugs in your hair.   Most people requesting a Hair Follicle Drug Test request a detection window for up to 90 days, depending upon the length of hair collected.  A small sample of hair will be collected from several inconspicuous spots on your head.  As a substitute, body hair can be used; however, the detection window varies for body hair.

 Drugs are deposited in the hair shaft through absorption into the hair follicle.  Testing is conducted on the hair shaft which prevents external contamination on the outside of the hair that may occur during accidental exposure, such as being in the same vicinity as someone using drugs.  Traces of drugs will remain in the hair longer than in the urine or the blood providing a much longer detection window.    Most often a 90 day detection window is requested for hair follicle drug tests.
