Is a 9 Panel Drug Screen Necessary?
Written By admin on
I am considering a 9 panel drug screen for my 21 year old son. I was told that a 9 panel drug screen would cover both prescription and street drugs. My son has been a honor roll student. Throughout high school. He has never had any legal or behavioral issues. In the last six months he has been withdrawn from all of his family and previous friends. My son has had violent outburst that he claims he doesn’t remember. His grades have plummeted and he is currently on probation from school. My husband and I really don’t know where to begin helping him.

Hi Tina,
We know this is a scary time for your family. We are more than happy to support you during this time. A 9 Panel drug screen is a great place to start. The 9 panel drug screen includes a variety of both street and prescription drugs. One of the drugs that the 9 panel drug screen check for is benzodiazepines like Xanax. Xanax is a sedative used to treat anxiety and panic disorder. Xanax can affect memory, judgment, and coordination. We have two great options for the 9 panel drug screen. We can test your son’s hair and urine. The results for the hair test and urine test will be a good indication of what drugs he uses habitually and what drugs he has recently abused. For the hair test your son will need at least two inches of head hair. For more information on how we can assist your son give us a call. We have several location in the Clearwater area.
