PLEASE NOTE: In some cases, when the donor has used marijuana, a hair drug test, including HairConfirm, may be unable to detect the THC metabolite due to the fact that the metabolite was unable to bind with the hair shaft. This can be caused by the type/quality of the marijuana smoked/ingested, or by what it has been mixed with, e.g. tobacco. As a result, the result for marijuana may be negative.

Statistics have shown that teenagers who have used marijuana are more likely to use other potentially more dangerous drugs, than those who have never used marijuana. So if you suspect your child may be using marijuana it is important to remember that you are also testing for those illicit drugs.

Hair drug testing measures the drug molecules embedded inside the hairshaft, eliminating external contamination as a source of a positive result. Since hair growth is fed by the bloodstream, the ingestion of drugs of abuse is revealed by analyzing a small sample of hair. HairConfirm test results cannot be altered with shampoos, bleaches or other external chemicals.

To date most drug screening has been done by testing urine samples, but it is not possible to detect most drugs in urine after 48-72 hours since the majority of drugs are out of the body by then. This makes it difficult to detect drug use by random testing or to monitor the success of treatment in a clinical setting, and impossible to prove use or non-use historically.

Hair analysis is proven to solve these problems, providing a secure, retrospective window of detection. Hair can show the trend of a habit over time and accurately determine what drugs were used. Just as importantly, it will show definitively if someone has not been taking any illicit substances

Hair drug testing is the most effective test for long term drug use. 25% of high school seniors admitted using an illicit drug in the past month. A recent survey reported that nearly 16 million Americans had used illicit drugs in the previous month.

The most commonly used drugs of abuse are marijuana and cocaine In the first half of 2002 there were over 300,000 visits to emergency rooms related to use of illegal drugs or non-medical use of a legal drug Hair testing is the most accurate and effective method of finding users of drugs of abuse. Using a small sample of hair cut at the scalp, hair analysis evaluates the amount of drug metabolites embedded inside the hair shaft.

Traditional methods of drug detection involve the analysis of urine. Most drugs however disappear from urine within 2-3 days of use, so intermittent use is easily concealed. Hair analysis provides a much better approach. Most drugs are deposited permanently within the hair shaft in small but measurable amounts, enabling an accurate, dignified screening program that will detect drug use for months or years prior to the test.

Detection of Drugs in Hair:
In addition, sophisticated drug users can substitute a bogus urine specimen unless collection is directly witnessed, which is invasive. The improved detection rate over urine testing (5-10 times greater) provides a definitive cost-effective procedure. Just one hair test can produce the same amount of information as 6 urine samples. Only 4 samples spread over the year give absolute confidence of total illicit drug abstention.

Hair provides a window of detection measured in months not days as in the case of urine. There are numerous benefits from the knowledge of the history of drug taking.

Longer window of detection, months instead of 48-72 hours.
Cost-effective and time-saving - one hair test vs. 18 urine samples for 3-month profile.
Eliminates the need for random testing.
5-10 times more sensitive test than urinalysis, and proven in a court of law.
Easier to collect, store and transport.
More dignified method to use.
Differentiates between one-off incidents and addictive behavior.
