What is an at-home hair drug test kit?
An at-home hair drug test kit is a testing method that analyzes a small hair sample to detect drug metabolites over an extended period, typically up to 90 days. It is designed for non-DOT testing purposes and provides a longer detection window compared to urine or saliva tests. The kit itself is a guide and set of instructions to collect a hair sample at a designated collection site, not an online or self-collection kit.
Who orders an at-home hair drug test kit?
Employers, legal professionals, rehabilitation centers, and individuals may order an at-home hair drug test kit to verify drug use history. It is preferred when long-term detection is necessary, such as in employment screening, custody disputes, or personal monitoring. AMH Nationwide facilitates the lab order and directs the requester to a collection site but does not provide online ordering.
What drugs can an at-home hair drug test kit detect and for how long?
The at-home hair drug test kit detects commonly abused substances including marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamine, PCP, and others. It can identify drug use within approximately the past 90 days, reflecting a longer detection window than urine tests which typically detect recent use only.
How is the hair sample collected for this test?
Hair collection is performed at one of five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, or ExperTox. A small sample of hair is cut close to the scalp, usually from the crown area, to ensure recent growth is tested. The collection process is supervised by trained personnel to maintain chain of custody and sample integrity.

What happens after hair sample collection?
After collection, the hair sample is sent to one of the five national labs for analysis. Any non-negative results are reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) as part of standard processing. The MRO verifies results and provides an official report to the requester. This ensures accuracy and proper interpretation of findings.
