Our 12 panel hair follicle drug test analyzes a person's hair to determine if they've used any of twelve classes of drugs in the past 90 days, including painkillers, street drugs, ecstasy, or prescriptions. The window of detection for this test is much longer than a urine drug test.
Registration is fast and easy. Enter your ZIP code and choose the clinic that you or the person you're testing would like to go to. As soon as the registration process is completed, we'll send an email with directions to the clinic in addition to a barcode to present upon arrival. Remember to bring your photo ID to the clinic. Hair test results are reported quickly and securely online. Individuals and employers can register online or call (888) 378-2499 to order tests.
Below are the most commonly asked questions about this product in our call center.
A 12 panel hair test screens for 12 classes of illicit drugs using a hair sample. It is often court-ordered and provides a lookback period of approximately 90 days.
We offer a separate 12 Panel Urine Drug Test + Suboxone, or you can try our 17 Panel Hair Test instead. However, Suboxone does not show up on a standard 12 Panel Drug Test.
Alcohol does not show up on a 12 panel hair follicle drug test. If alcohol testing is required, try our 12 Panel Plus Urine Alcohol. This test will be completed via urine specimen rather than hair. It will check for all of the same substances with the addition of alcohol.
Yes. Marijuana (THC) is included in the 12 panel screening. If marijuana is present, your result will come back as positive and take longer, up to 7 business days.
About 60 to 120 strands of hair are cut imperceptibly at the root and shipped to a federally certified laboratory to assess for the presence of drugs and their metabolites. The hair must be at least an inch and a half per strand in order to be analyzed.
We can use hair from the head, chest, leg, or armpit. If the person's head hair is shorter than 1.5 inches long, select the body hair option when registering. Many (but not all) of our clinics perform hair tests. Of the ones that do, only certain ones will perform it on body hair. We'll be sure to set you up with the right clinic location based on your specific needs.
Hair Follicle Drug Test: 12 Panel
Health Street uses certified laboratories that perform confirmation testing using GC/MS or LC/MS technology to minimize false positives. If an initial screening is positive, the sample goes through additional testing to confirm the result before issuing a final report. In other words, a true false positive is very rare.
The cost for a 12 panel hair follicle test is $495.
Important: This is different from a urine drug test, which costs less but does not provide the same detection window.
You must have at least 1 to 2 inches of head hair for an accurate test result.
Hair follicle tests detect drug use up to 90 days prior to sample collection. This is known as the hair follicle drug test detection time frame.
Anyone seeking a comprehensive, professional laboratory test with a longer window for detection should choose this test. Since this 12 panel drug screen can identify drug use up to 3 months back, it can show if the person being tested has a history of frequent or heavy drug abuse.
No. You do not need to present a court order or referral at the lab. Simply register online or by phone and provide your barcode number at the lab.
You can register online or call us to schedule. You'll receive a registration code that can be used at the nearest clinic to the city, state, or ZIP code you choose. The person being tested can then walk into the clinic with photo ID and simply show the registration code.
Drug test results for hair tests are typically available in 2 or 3 days. Non-negative results can take longer. We will notify you as soon as the results are ready.
No. Payment must be made in advance by debit or credit card when you register online or over the phone. Labs do not accept payment at the location.
With a much longer detection window than a urine drug test, our hair follicle drug tests can identify drug use up to 90 days back. This makes hair drug testing a popular choice for employers or individuals looking for long-term or frequent use over an extended period of time. Each hair test looks for different substances, so if a specific substance needs to be tested for then it is important to check if it's included in the panel.
For a hair follicle test that includes a number in the name of the panel, this number is the same as the number of drug classes being tested. Since multiple drugs can belong to the same class, the panel number is often lower than the total number of drugs that are being screened for.
Registration for hair drug testing can be completed quickly online. The individual being tested will come into one of our clinics, and one of our professional technicians will collect a sample of hair. Negative hair follicle test results are usually available within a few days. Non-negative results are sent for confirmation testing, which may take longer to confirm positive results.
Health Street's drug testing services offer individuals and employers many advantages and benefits.
