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 Peters

Peters is an Unincorporated community in Austin County in the U.S. state of Texas. No longer marked on maps, the tiny community is situated along State Highway 36 (SH 36) 5.8 miles (9.3 km) north of Sealy. The settlement was founded along a railroad line around 1880 but decreased in population after the 1920s. The BNSF Railway still exists but there are currently only a few homes, a Boy Scout camp and two churches in the immediate area.

The community of Peters is situated at 29°51′36″N 96°11′12″W / 29.86000°N 96.18667°W / 29.86000; -96.18667. This location is 5.8 miles (9.3 km) north of Sealy and 7.7 miles (12.4 km) south of Bellville on SH 36 at Peters San Felipe Road. The location is bracketed by Farm to Market Road 949 which is 1.0 mile (1.6 km) north on SH 36 and Farm to Market Road 331 which is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) south. The BNSF Railway runs parallel with SH 36 between Sealy and Bellville. On the west side of SH 36, Peters San Felipe Road goes south-southwest 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to end at Trenckmann Road. On the east side of SH 36, Peters San Felipe Road heads 6.3 miles (10.1 km) southeast to San Felipe. Two places of worship, the All Around Cowboy Church and the Christian City Fellowship are on the east side of SH 36 just to the south of Trenckmann Road. Camp Brosig, owned by the Boy Scouts of America, is located nearby at 1893 Trenckmann Road 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to the northwest of SH 36.

Austin County was first settled by Anglo-Americans in the 1820s, but Peters did not come into existence until the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway was built between Sealy and Bellville in the 1880s. A station on the railroad, the community received a post office in 1883 and was named for Albert Peters, an early settler. The population reached as high as 125 in 1925 but declined to 70 by 1943. The post office closed in the 1940s at a time when there were two local businesses. In 1968 there were about 100 in the area. In the early 1980s the community boasted a hospital, three commercial establishments, a church and a clubhouse. From 1990 to 2000, there were approximately 95 persons living in the area.

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