Trusted Testing for Legal and Workplace Needs
Hair follicle testing is a dependable method for detecting both drug and alcohol use over extended periods. By analysing a small hair sample, it provides a clear timeline of substance use that can be broken down month by month and by individual substance, offering deeper insight than many other testing methods.
This form of testing is ideal for situations where long-term patterns of use or abstinence need to be confirmed, such as in safety-critical industries, legal matters or ongoing rehabilitation programs. Testing for drug use and alcohol consumption are available as separate services, allowing you to choose the most relevant option for your needs.
Every test follows strict chain-of-custody procedures, supporting confidentiality and accuracy throughout the process. DAB Services works with employers, legal professionals and individuals across regional Queensland to deliver reliable results with minimal disruption.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive, discreet testing solution, contact our team today to discuss the best option for your situation.
FAQ
How does a hair follicle drug test work?
A hair follicle test involves collecting a small sample of hair, usually from the scalp, and analysing it in a laboratory for the presence of drug metabolites. As hair grows, substances become trapped in the shaft, allowing detection over a much longer period compared to urine or saliva tests. This makes it particularly effective for identifying repeated or long-term drug use.
How far back can a hair follicle test detect drug use?
Hair follicle testing can detect drug use for approximately 90 days, depending on hair length and growth rate. Each centimetre of hair represents about one month of history, meaning longer samples can show patterns of substance use over time. This extended detection window makes it ideal for employers or legal cases requiring ongoing monitoring.
What types of drugs can be detected in a hair test?
Hair follicle tests can detect a wide range of substances including cannabis (THC), amphetamines, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, oxycodone, benzodiazepines, methadone, and synthetic cannabinoids. Because hair captures trace amounts over time, it provides a more consistent record of substance exposure than shorter-term testing methods.
