Hair drug tests are used by employers who have zero tolerance drug use policies, courts and individuals on probation. The primary advantage of a hair drug test is that it includes a much longer detection period for drug use which typically is up to 90 days. However, when screening for drug use within the last 5 days the urine test continues to be the most accurate test.

Hair drug testing is the only method available that provides up to a 90-day look back period for drug use.  Data has shown that hair drug testing provides almost twice the number of positives because of its longer window of detection (look back period). If a donor has no hair on their body, then a hair test cannot be performed!

FAQ's About Hair Drug Testing

What Is The Hair Drug Test Process?
A certified hair collection specialist will cut approximately 120 strands of hair (about the internal diameter of a straw), utilize a chain of custody procedure and send the hair to a certified laboratory for analysis. Drug testing centers and laboratories require at least 1.5 inches of hair from the crown portion of the head to perform this test and is the only way to certify the results for 90 days. 
How Long Do Drugs Stay in Your System for a Hair Drug Test?
The average growth of an individual’s head hair is approximately 1.3 cm (1/2 inch per month), therefore hair at the length of 1.5 inches will be validated for that 90-day lookback period.  Hair generally needs to come from the head, however if the donor does not have head hair certain testing centers can use hair from chest, leg or arm pit.
How Long It Take to Receive Hair Drug Test Results?
Once the hair has been analyzed by a certified laboratory, they will then be reviewed and then verified by a Medical Review Officer (licensed Physician) who will release the results. Generally, a negative hair drug test result is available in 3-4 business days and a non-negative hair drug test is available in approximately 5-7 business days from when the hair specimen reaches the laboratory for analysis. Urine cut-off levels are expressed in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or as a weight of drug per unit volume of urine. Hair cut-off levels are expressed in picograms per milligram (pg/mg) or as a weight of drug per unit weight of hair.

Introduction to Valley Springs

Valley Springs (formerly, Spring Valley and Valley Spring) is situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and is a census-designated place (CDP) in Calaveras County, California, United States. Valley Springs is registered as a California Historical Landmark #251.

Valley Springs was once known as Spring Valley. Because there was another post office called Spring Valley in Colusa County, it was switched to Valley Springs. Earliest Settlers were Native American. The presence of grinding rocks found in Valley Springs suggests that the Mi-Wuk, and the Yokut tribes, resided in Valley Springs. They gathered acorns for trade and food before returning to their home in the spring however, the Mi-Wuk were driven further into the hills due to Gold Rush miners.

1849 saw the first saloon and store in the Valley Springs region. Consequentially, small farms and large ranches were established to provide food for settlers. Stage stops emerged along (now)Highway 26, lodging developed, and (now)Highway 12 linked roads to the surrounding areas.

We also offer 9, 12,14 and 17 panel hair tests.  For more information on hair testing or to order a hair drug test in Valley Springs, CA, call Smart Drug Testing at 800-977-8664 or pick your test below.
