Another
method that has been developed for
drug testing is hair testing. This method is very
accurate and can back to six months and beyond to detect any
substances that have been used. The way this test shows results
is kind of a time line of the test subject’s drug use. As one’s
hair grows, any sort of
drugs that someone has taken will be caught in the hair
shaft, making a sort of timeline per se. For the most part, hair
testing is done in
laboratories. However, there are
home drug test kits for hair. You take the hair, seal it in
a tube and send it off to the lab for the testing.
Pros: This
method has the longest
drug detection window. For the majority of drugs the window
of use is about 90 days or more. This method is also very donor
friendly.
Adulteration is the hardest to do with this method. This
test is also very dependable and accurate.
Cons: The
biggest disadvantage to this method is that you have to have a
lab run the test and obtain the results. Because of this
extra step, it can take a few extra days to get your test
results. Another disadvantage is that it most likely will not
pick up very recent drug use. Hair test kits are also the most
expensive
drug test kits because of the necessity of using a lab for
the testing.
