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 Tucker

Tucker is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, located within the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 304 in 2000. It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area.

The community's first church, named Green Bay African Methodist Episcopal Church, came together by a group of African Americans who worked in the cotton plantation in nearby Long Lake. It had two separate neighborhoods: Prairie Point, where the community's White residents lived, and Green Bay, where the community's Black inhabitants resided. The International and Great Northern Railroad had a track built through the settlement in 1872, and a post office by the name of Prairie Point was established in 1873. Both it and the community changed their name to Tucker, in which a family with the same last name owned land and operated a general store in the community in 1882. It was also named after a man named W.H. Tucker, who was also a member of the same family. It consisted of a steam-powered gristmill and cotton gin, a church, and 40 occupants. It shipped cotton, cottonseed, and fish. It had an estimated population of 150 in 1896, and the post office was shut down in 1905. A man named A.L. Bowers drilled many unsuccessful wells in Tucker in 1913. However, it was revived by the Tidewater and Texas Seaboard Oil Company, which created numerous oil and gas wells that became profitable in the community as well as nearby Long Lake in both 1932 and 1933. Then a refinery was built next to the community's railroad. It had 60 residents in the 1930s, and at the end of that decade, it consisted of two churches, three businesses, a factory, and numerous tanks that stored oil. Its population fell to 40 in 1964, and had around 65 to 85 residents in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It had reached its population zenith of 304 residents from 1978 through 2000. The community then consisted of three churches, several scattered homes and oil tanks, and an oil refinery not that far north. The nearby oilfield continued to operate in 1984, but it eventually shut down in 1992.

Tucker sits approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) away from the Trinity River, as well as along the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 and U.S. Highway 79 on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, 8 mi (13 km) southwest of Palestine in the southwestern portion of Anderson County.
