Drug Test – 5-10 Panel Hair Follicle Quest

Hair Test $ 150

The 5 Panel Hair Follicle test provides testing for common drugs of abuse with a longer detection period than other sample types.  Hair drug testing can typically detect drugs for approximately the past 90 days.  It may take up to 7-10 days after use for drugs to be detectable in hair.  Because hair follicle testing looks for drug metabolites, external or second-hand exposure should not cause a false-positive result.  However, to ensure the accuracy of your testing, it is still recommended to avoid any type of exposure to substances that may be detectable by a drug test.  Please note that hair follicle testing may not be ideal for detecting casual or one-time drug use.  This type of test is typically more appropriate for detecting chronic use.  This test provides an initial screening with confirmatory testing on any positive results at no additional cost.  In the event of a positive result, a numerical value will be provided for the level of any substance that are detected.

This hair drug test looks for:

  • Amphetamine (including Methamphetamine, MDA, MDMA)
  • Cocaine
  • Marijuana
  • Opiates (Morphine, Codeine, 6-MAM)
  • Phencyclidine (PCP) 

Hair follicle testing is typically ordered when someone needs a drug test with a longer detection period than urine or blood testing can provide.  For post-accident testing or more recent use, a urine or blood test may be more appropriate.  In some cases, a 5 panel Drug test may be ordered along with a hair test for a more comprehensive screening. 

Turnaround time is typically up to 4-7 business days for negative results.  If confirmatory testing is necessary, results may take up to 2-3 weeks to complete.
