Why Choose Nail Drug Screening?

Nail drug testing examines clippings from fingernails or toenails, providing a window into possible drug use as far back as six to eight months. Because nails grow slowly and drugs become embedded in their keratin, this method captures long-term exposure more effectively than standard urine or oral swab tests

This simple, non-invasive process works well for a variety of situations:

  • Workplace & pre-employment screening for Sacramento-area companies, agencies, and contractors
  • Compliance with zero-tolerance or safety policies in regulated workplaces
  • Court-related and legal requirements when results must be admissible
  • Individuals unable to provide hair samples or seeking long-term substance use detection

Nail testing resists tampering, and there are no established adulterants known to compromise results. When combined with other methods, such as hair or urine testing, it provides a comprehensive record of a person’s drug exposure history in Sacramento and beyond.

This method is practical for anyone who wants a clear view of substance use history that short-term detection windows may not catch. Some local families choose nail drug testing to ensure privacy, as the process remains discreet and does not require direct observation. Clients in ongoing compliance programs benefit from the extended detection window, which provides a consistent solution for long-term monitoring and reduces the frequency of testing compared to shorter-duration methods.

When you arrive for your nail drug test in Sacramento, our certified collector greets you and explains each step before beginning. 

The process includes these important steps:

Every part of the process includes checks to ensure accuracy. The appointment typically takes about ten minutes for sample collection.
