Hair Drug Testing Services

Hair drug tests can test drug usage over a longer time period potentially signaling an individual’s habitual drug use.

For that reason, while hair drug screening is a relatively new testing option, it is quickly becoming a popular choice among employers, courts and governmental agencies.

When an individual uses drugs, identifiable chemical compounds are deposited into hair follicles. When hair strands grow from the follicles, traces of the drug are embedded within the inner strand. Because hair drug screening analyzes chemical compounds inside the hair shaft, harsh external chemicals and shampoos have no ability to alter test results. Hair drug tests can detect drug usage within the past 5-90 days and can accurately identify a wide range of substances including marijuana, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, and amphetamines/ methamphetamines.

CJ Cooper & Associates’ trained technicians will personally collect the hair strands in order to diminish any risk of adulteration, and will test only the first 1-1 ½ inches. This sampling, of approximately 120 strands, can be taken from the head, chest, leg, or armpit and is generally representative of the past three months of growth.

Test results are made available within approximately 1-5 business days of the lab receiving the sample.
