How Hair Drug Testing Works at Our Location

Request an appointment online or walk in during business hours, and our certified collector will take care of the rest. Collection involves approximately 90-120 strands of hair, 1.5 inches in length, taken from the scalp. The sample is small, the process is non-intrusive, and collection typically takes only a few minutes.

If scalp hair isn’t available, body hair may be used as an alternative. Results are typically available within 1-2 days. Chain of custody procedures are followed throughout, supporting admissibility for employment and legal purposes.

Who Needs Hair Follicle Drug Testing in Springfield

Hair follicle drug testing covers approximately 90 days of history, making it one of the most thorough options available. That detection window is why it’s frequently chosen over urine testing, which detects only recent use.

Common reasons clients come to us include:

Pre-employment screening: Many employers require drug testing before a new hire starts
Court-ordered testing: We support court-ordered hair drug tests; bring a copy of your court order
Workplace programs: Random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing
Personal or family reasons: Individuals may request testing for their own knowledge

Pennsylvania employers may enforce drug-free workplace policies, including pre-employment and random testing programs. Recreational marijuana remains illegal in Pennsylvania, and employers may generally test for it even if an employee holds a medical marijuana card. We don’t provide legal advice, but we’re happy to explain what your test covers during your free consultation.

Hair Follicle Testing Programs for Delaware County Employers

We support employer testing programs of all sizes, from a single pre-hire test to ongoing random testing across a workforce. Results are delivered directly to employers through a secure portal, and our free consultation helps you match the right panel and program structure to your needs.

Supported program types include pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing. Panel options available are 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18-panel tests screening for a wide range of substances. Pricing varies by test type and program structure; contact our office for details. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash.

What to Bring to Your Hair Follicle Drug Test

Preparation is simple. Unlike urine testing, there’s no need to adjust your hydration or fast beforehand. Here’s what to have ready when you arrive:

Valid government-issued photo ID: A driver’s license or passport works
Employer authorization forms: Bring any paperwork your employer provided if you’re being sent for testing
Court order: If your test is court-ordered, bring a copy of the order
Legal guardian: If a minor is being tested, a legal guardian must be present with proper ID

One thing worth knowing: avoid bleaching or applying heavy chemical treatments to your hair right before collection, as this can affect sample integrity. If you have any other questions, give us a call before your appointment. We’re glad to walk you through it.

How Hair Follicle Drug Testing Detects Drug Use

When drugs enter the body, their metabolites are deposited into the hair shaft through blood, sweat, and skin oils as the hair grows. Because hair grows roughly 0.5 inches per month, a sample that is 1.5 inches long reflects approximately 90 days of history. That’s the basis of the 90-day detection window for scalp hair.

If the sample provided is body hair, this type of test can even screen for drug use within the past year. Body hair grows more slowly and holds a longer record, making it a useful option when scalp hair is unavailable.

What Sets Hair Testing Apart

Hair follicle drug testing detects patterns of use rather than a single recent episode. That distinction matters for employers enforcing zero-tolerance policies and for legal proceedings where chronic or habitual use is at issue. For very recent use within approximately the last 5-10 days, a urine test may be more sensitive, since drugs haven’t yet fully incorporated into the growing hair shaft. Our free consultation can help you determine which test fits your specific need.

Sample Integrity & Panels Available

Before analysis, our laboratory partners wash each hair sample to remove external contaminants, protecting against passive exposure claims. We offer 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18-panel tests, screening for a broad range of substances depending on the panel selected. There is no known reliable method of defeating a hair follicle drug test, which is one reason employers and courts rely on it as a trusted screening tool.
