The presence of drugs in hair is based on a simple
principle. Drugs that are ingested circulate in a person's
bloodstream that nourishes developing hair follicles.
Hair drug test can detect these drugs. The advantage to
apply hair follicular testing for your pre-employment or
random drug testing as opposed to traditional ways of
screening is simple.
An illegal drugs substance abuser may abstain from using
drugs for 3 days to 2 weeks prior to applying for a job.
With traditional drug testing, there is a good chance that
the applicant will test negative and then start using again
once they are hired in. There is also the chance of
adulterating the specimen. Companies that implement hair
follicular drug testing can be relieved to know that this is
not possible with hair testing.
