The Exclusive Features of the Hair Drug Test
Learn Frequency of Use And Gain Another Tool To Aid Rehabilitation and Recovery
While all of the drug tests we sell are extremely accurate and reliable, the hair drug test alone stands out in terms of providing you with the most detailed information about frequency of use. Not only do you learn whether someone is negative or positive for a particular drug but how often they use it. This can help you learn if your child just uses the drug with friends or already has a daily, addicting habit.
When hair drug tests are discussed, it is often the 90 day history feature that is most talked about. After all, such a detection period is not found among urine and saliva tests on the market. While the history hair tests are able to provide is impressive, perhaps the most unique feature of the product is the ability to find out frequency of use in just one test. You could test someone twice a week for example to determine frequent use - after all, if someone fails a urine test weeks on end then they certainly are using drugs pretty often. But it is possible too that someone would begin to trick the urine test by providing someone else's clean sample. A much easier way to find out if use is frequent is to take an inch and a half hair sample at your home, and mail it to a certified laboratory.
You can learn whether the drug use is high (constant), low (recreational), or medium (daily/weekend). This way you can find out if your child more or less uses the drug everyday. Having information this precise can help you realize the seriousness of the problem.
The drugs about which you can learn frequency of use include cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, codeine and morphine, and PCP. Marijuana is tested as well, but due to the nature of the drug and the way it binds to the hair, the frequency of use cannot be gauged as accurately as that of these other drugs. So for marijuana, a simple numeric result indicating positive or negative is provided instead.
It is important to realize not all hair drug tests provide this level of information (it is up to the manufacturer), but the HairConfirm tests that we carry do. You can see a sample HairConfirm report by clicking on this hair drug test report link. (You can learn more and/or purchase the tests that provide this report by clicking on these links: Express Hair Drug Test, Standard Hair Follicle Drug Test, or the Hair Test for Business).
Hair drug tests are already more expensive than urine or saliva tests, and this exclusive feature only adds to their value. It is something to think about when you are considering using drug tests to monitor someone's (suspected) use and a huge bonus for parents. If you want to sit down and talk about the problem, a hair drug test gives you a lot of information to discuss.
