Once the lab order has been sent to you making an appointment ahead of time is not necessary; orders for the 6-month hair follicle drug test collections may require special test arrangements, same day collections may be possible but we may have to mail out lab orders and we therefore strongly suggest calling customer service and giving advance notice as soon as possible.

Can a hair drug test go back 6 months?

Typically, results take approximately 1 to 7 business days but on average range anywhere from 3 to 5 business days. However, they may take an additional 1 or 2 extra days, and will test for the last 6 months.

FAQ

Question: My wife and I are caring for one of our grandsons while his mother goes through rehab and recovery. Child Protective Services is now requiring us to both get hair drug tests. We would like a test that goes back at least 6 months to cover the time that he has been staying with us. What drugs can be tested for on a 6 month hair drug test?

Segmented hair testing, including the 6 month drug test, can be ordered as a 5 panel up to an 18 panel. We will list out the drugs in order as they appear in the various hair panels so that you can pick what drugs you want to test for. These drug panels include testing for marijuana, amphetamines (and methamphetamine), cocaine metabolites, opiates, PCP (phencyclidine), benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, propoxyphene, oxycodone, tramadol, meperidine/Demerol, fentanyl, sufentanil, ketamine, buprenorphine, zolpidem and, methcathinone. However, if you don’t know what drug test CPS requires you might want to check with your case worker. They will probably want between a 5 and a 9 panel hair test.

I need a 6 month hair follicle drug test that covers Ketamine. Is that an option?

Yes, Ketamine would be covered in our 17 panel 6 month hair follicle drug test. This is our largest panel that can cover Ketamine for that length of time. We do offer a 15 panel hair follicle drug test that detects Ketamine but that test is only a 90 day test.

Once I pay and register for the 6 month hair drug test can I be tested right away?

Most times you will be able to pay, register and take the 6 month hair follicle drug test the same day but because this is not the standard 90 day test it will take special arrangements that can sometimes take more than a day. If you are working with a restricted timeline please register right away and let the AMH representative know that you need to take this test as soon as possible.
