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 McSherrystown

McSherrystown is a borough in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,038 as of the 2010 census.

The headquarters of the popular Teddy Bear manufacturer Boyds Bears as well as the oldest operating family-run cigar manufacturer in the U.S. (since 1863), F.X. Smith & Sons, are located in McSherrystown. Boyds has since closed down, and in 2018, the cigar company was sold.

McSherrystown epitomizes the old small town feel, as there are no major retail shopping in the area besides a Food Lion grocery store. Some of the popular local establishments include: Neiderer's Pool, The Moose, Knights of Columbus, Hustler's Crabs, Brother's Pizza, Choice Family Pharmacy, and the original Rocky’s II Shaved Ice. The 2018 Borough Council has been under fire for behind closed door talks to end their Police K9 program, disbanding their Police force, and multiple Sunshine law violations by current Council members.

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 McSherrystown, PA, call Smart Drug Testing at 800-977-8664 or pick your test below.
