Historical and Recent Drug Use Testing in Hair

Using a sample of hair around the thickness of a pencil allows for a historical overview of drug use.   The method is non-invasive, simple and painless for the donor. All collections are carried out by our trained collectors who ensure the sample is taken as neatly and discreetly as possible whilst maintaining a strict chain of custody. As head hair grows at approximately 1 cm per month, we can use a hair sample to report drug usage in two ways:

Overview of Drug Use

An average of the total period of analysis e.g. 3 cm of hair can demonstrate whether an individual took significant quantities of heroin at some point in the last 3 months.

Month by Month Analysis

A segmented month by month analysis e.g. 3 cm of hair taken in October can demonstrate whether an individual took significant quantities of heroin in July, but has abstained in August and September.

Hair testing for Alcohol Misuse

Our experts recommend that blood is used in combination with a hair test to provide a more comprehensive analysis of historical and more recent abuse of alcohol.

Blood testing allows us to carry out the following;

All blood samples are safely collected by trained phlebotomists and are securely transported to the laboratory.
