9 Panel Drug Test

Health Street’s 9-panel drug tests look at usage in the past week, but metabolisms vary, as do types of drugs, so this is not a hard and fast rule as some would believe. If you want to look at drug use over a longer period of time, our 9-panel hair follicle drug tests start checking at about a week ago and go all the way back to around 90 days. The most comprehensive approach is to do both urine and hair, thereby checking both the current week as well as the past three months.

Health Street provides a few different 9 Panel Drug Tests. Customize your order to fit your needs:

• 9 Panel Rapid: Get results within a few hours in most cases: Find Clinic ($89)
• 9 Panel Plus Urine Alcohol: In addition to the 9 drug classes, this test looks at recent alcohol use: Find Clinic ($125)
• Bump it up to a 12: Concerned about opiods? Get the 12 panel instead. 12 Panel Drug Test ($149)

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines are known better by their product names Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, and Librium. They are often prescribed to treat mental health conditions likes anxiety and panic attacks. They can also be used to help with insomnia and seizures. Patients that are prescribed the drug in heavy dosages can be susceptible to becoming dependent on it. That dependency can lead to recreation use and ultimately addiction. When conducting a 9-panel drug test it's important to know whether the person being tested has been prescribed any Benzodiazepines, to avoid any false positives.

Barbiturates

Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants. They are more commonly known as muscle relaxers. They can be used to treat seizures, headaches, and insomnia. Barbiturates have been around since the 70's often being used as a popular party drug. Because Barbiturates are sedatives people often use them to combat anxiety, These drugs are highly addictive and are no longer prescribed as much as they once were because of this. Barbiturates show up in our 9-panel drug screen for up to five days. Learn more about Barbiturates

Methadone

Methadone is unusual and controversial in that it is legally prescribed opiate, which is used for pain relief as well as drug addiction detox. The drug is often used to help people recover from an addiction to other opiates. Methadone works to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate addiction. While the drug stays active for up to 36 hours, the pain relief effects fade much quicker. This can lead to people increasing their dosages and ultimately becoming dependent or addicted to the drug. Methadone is detectable in our 9-panel drug screen with a look back period of approximately three to seven days. Learn more about Methadone

Propoxyphene

Propoxyphene is a narcotic cough suppressant and pain reliever. It is in the same family as Codeine and Hydrocodone but considered a much weaker drug. Propoxyphene can help dull mild to moderate pain, but it won't necessarily eliminate it. In 2010, the drug was removed from the market amid safety and health risk concerns. Even when taken with a prescription, it can be extremely dangerous in a work environment that involves operating heavy machinery or driving. Health Street’s 9-panel test detects Propoxyphene for about 5 to 7 days. Learn more about Propoxyphene

THC or Cannabinoids (Marijuana)

Marijuana is one of the more commonly known drugs on this list. It has grown in popularity in recent years with the conversations around legalization. While there haven't been any deadly side effects reported from Marijuana use, many employers still screen for the drug in their pre-employment process. THC is the main component in the drug and it's responsible for giving you the 'high' feeling the drug induces. THC is detectable by a urine drug screen panel for up to 5 to 10 days for occasional users. Heavy users, however, can retain THC metabolites in their fat tissues, which means that cannabinoids continue to show up on drug tests for several weeks after stopping usage.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a potent and expensive drug which is characterized by a wave of euphoric energy. Social cocaine use has become increasingly popular in recent years, people use the drug at clubs and social functions as a way of 'enhancing' the experience. Prolonged cocaine use can lead to depression, anti-social behaviors, anxiety, and addiction. Cocaine enters the bloodstream and quickly impacts the central nervous system. While Coke is most commonly snorted, it can also be smoked (Freebasing) or injected. Cocaine doesn't stay in the system as long as THC, but the drug will show up on a urine drug test for up to a week. Learn more about Cocaine

Basic opiates (Codeine, Morphine, and Heroin)

Our 9 Panel Urine Drug Test picks up three basic opiates: codeine, morphine, and heroin. Heroin is the most addictive and dangerous of the 3 drugs. Research has found similarities between the effects of pain medicines like OxyContin and Vicodin. Some people transition to Heroin use after becoming dependent on opioid pain meds. Morphine is a natural substance that comes from the opium poppy plant, and heroin is actually synthesized from morphine. Users can become addicted to heroin after a single dose. Conducting a drug screen is an effective way to spot the use of Heroin and other opiates. Learn more about Opiates
