How Long Back Does A Hair Drug Test Go:

The 9-month hair drug test has a detection period of an estimated 9 months from possible drug use. Segmented time frames are available for this test in 30 day increments such as ZERO to 30 days, 30 to 60 days and 60 to 90 days. (Please note: Segmented tests are looking at an estimated time frame and cannot determine exact dates of when usage may have occurred, please call customer service for further details.)

The price for the 9-month hair drug test can vary depending on your current location. If you select multiple segments realize that each segment is treated and charged as a brand new test. You need to contact customer service to receive a price estimate. AMH Nationwide is well known for providing some of the best possible pricing for drug test available on the market.
