FAQ

What types of drugs are tested for on a 17 panel hair follicle drug test?

The 17 panel hair follicle test includes several schedule I, II, III, and IV level drugs. Although you may see slight variations between laboratories the 17 panel hair test commonly tests for 17 drug classifications and/or metabolites including amphetamines/methamphetamines (crystal meth or meth) MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine), MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) (ecstasy or molly); cocaine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene, norcocaine; marijuana, thc-cooh; phencyclidine (PCP, angel dust); opiates, morphine, codeine, heroin, 6—MAM (6-monoacetylmorphine); opiates expanded, hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid); oxycodone (Oxycontin and Percocet), oxymorphone; benzodiazepines (bennies), alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), temazepam, bromazepam, clonazepam (Klonopin), oxazepam, nordiazepam, lorazepam (Ativan); barbiturates (barbs and barbies), amobarbital, butalbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, secobarbital; methadone, eddp 2-ethylidene-1, 5-dimethyl-3, 3-diphenylpyrrolidine; propoxyphene, norpropoxyphene; meperidine, normeperidine; tramadol; fentanyl, norfentanyl; sufentanil, ketamine (special k) norketamine; buprenorphine; subutex (Suboxone) norbuprenorphine; and zolpidem (Ambien).

How far can the 17 panel hair drug test go back?

The standard hair follicle test has a detection time of about 3 months for the 17 panel hair follicle test (same as other panels). A lot of companies can only provide hair follicle drug testing with this standard detection time. Here at AMH for most drug classifications the only contingency on the detection time for our test is the length of the donor’s hair. Every ½ inch is representative of an estimated 30 days, which is why we need at least an inch and a ½ for 90 day testing. For example, if you would like to purchase a test with a detection time of 12 months we would need 6 inches of hair.

Can you set me up with a hair follicle test for drugs that tests for everything?

There is no drug test that tests for “everything”. However, our hair drug panels cover an expansive amount of drug classifications. The largest panel we have is the 19 panel hair follicle drug test. The 19 panel hair follicle test includes several schedule I, II, III, and IV level drugs as listed above.
