What Do Drug Tests Look For?
Drug tests are designed to detect the presence of certain substances in a person's body currently and in the past, commonly used for pre-employment screenings and legal proceedings, but can also be used for personal reasons.
The specific drugs that are being tested for depend on the type of test being performed, but drug tests commonly look for:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines
- Opioids and opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine, etc.)
- Methamphetamine
- Benzodiazepines
- Barbiturates
- PCP
What Types of Drug Tests Are Available?
Drug testing is a common practice used to detect the presence of illegal or prescription drugs in a person's system. There are several methods for drug testing, including urine, blood, hair, saliva, and fingernail tests. Here is a breakdown of each method and its detection window:
- Urine Test – Urinalysis is the most common and widely accepted type of drug test and, depending on the drug, detects drug use within the past two to five days and even 30 days for frequent users.
- Hair Test – Hair follicle drug tests can detect drug use within the past 90 days and are very hard to manipulate, making it one of the most effective drug tests available.
- Saliva Test – Oral drug tests can detect drug use within the first few hours after use and one to two days, making it useful for individuals and employers.
- Fingernail Test – Like the hair test, fingernail drug tests have a large detection window, detecting drug usage up to the past eight months!
- Skin Patch Test – Skin or sweat patch tests are commonly used to monitor drug use over an extended period of time, usually several days or weeks.
Each method has pros and cons depending on the situation and desired outcome. If you have any questions about the collection method for these drug tests or our overall testing process, be sure to reach out – we’re here to become your go-to source for testing services in Northwest Arkansas!
