Can I Buy a Hair Follicle Drug Test for Accurate Results?

Can I buy a hair follicle drug test for personal use?

You cannot buy a hair follicle drug test kit for personal or home use through AMH Nationwide or its lab partners. Hair follicle testing requires professional collection, chain of custody protocols, and laboratory analysis that cannot be replicated by home kits.

AMH Nationwide facilitates hair follicle drug testing by directing individuals or organizations to one of five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. This ensures accurate, court-admissible results.

How can I get a hair follicle drug test if I cannot buy it directly?

To get a hair follicle drug test, you must contact AMH Nationwide to arrange a lab order. AMH provides the lab order and directs you to a nearby collection site among its nationwide network.

There is no option to order hair follicle drug testing online or through mail kits for self-collection. Professional collection ensures specimen integrity and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

What substances does a hair follicle drug test detect and how long is the detection window?

Hair follicle drug tests detect drug metabolites deposited in hair shafts typically covering a 90-day detection window. This includes substances such as marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, PCP, and others depending on the test panel.

Because hair grows approximately half an inch per month, a standard 1.5-inch hair sample reflects drug use over the past three months. This makes hair testing useful for long-term use detection rather than recent or single-use screening.

Who typically orders hair follicle drug tests?

Hair follicle drug tests are commonly ordered by employers for pre-employment screening, probation or court-mandated testing, and other organizations requiring long-term drug use history.

Individuals may request hair follicle testing through AMH Nationwide for personal reasons, but the test must be collected at a professional site and analyzed by certified labs to ensure validity.

Which labs process hair follicle drug tests for AMH Nationwide?

AMH Nationwide routes hair follicle drug test specimens through five national laboratory networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox.

All tests undergo rigorous analysis and non-negative results are reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) as part of standard processing to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Can hair follicle drug tests be beaten or produce false positives?

Hair follicle drug tests are highly reliable due to laboratory methods and MRO review. Passive exposure is unlikely to produce a positive result at confirmed levels.

Attempts to evade detection by altering hair or using home remedies are unreliable and can invalidate results. AMH Nationwide does not provide advice on evading tests but ensures scientifically valid testing procedures.
