Hair Ten Panel Drug Test

The 24-7 Labs Ten-Panel Hair Drug Test is a highly effective and reliable drug screening method that analyzes a small sample of hair to detect the presence of ten different drugs or drug classes. Hair drug testing is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to detect drug use over a longer period compared to other tests like urine or blood tests. This makes it an ideal choice for monitoring long-term drug use or identifying past substance abuse.

Drugs Tested:

1. Amphetamines: Includes drugs like methamphetamine and prescription stimulants such as Adderall, often abused for their stimulant effects.

2. Barbiturates: Detects sedative-hypnotic drugs such as phenobarbital and butalbital, which are commonly used for anxiety or sleep disorders.

3. Benzodiazepines: Tests for anti-anxiety medications like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan, which can lead to dependence if misused.

4. Cocaine: Detects the presence of cocaine and its metabolites, a powerful stimulant that is highly addictive.

5. Marijuana (THC): Identifies the active component in marijuana, THC, which is commonly used for both recreational and medicinal purposes.

6. Methadone: A synthetic opioid used to treat pain and opioid addiction, which can be monitored for misuse.

7. Methaqualone: A sedative-hypnotic drug known as Quaaludes, which has a high potential for abuse.

8. Opiates: Includes heroin, morphine, and codeine, which are opioids often abused for their pain-relieving effects.

9. Phencyclidine (PCP): A hallucinogenic drug that can cause severe mental health issues, including violent behavior.

10. Propoxyphene: A painkiller similar to codeine that was commonly used but has since been withdrawn due to its potential for misuse.

Advantages of the Ten-Panel Hair Drug Test

• Longer Detection Window: Hair testing can detect drug use over a period of several weeks or even months, providing a longer detection window than urine or blood tests, which typically only detect recent drug use.

• Ideal for Monitoring Long-Term Drug Use: Since drug metabolites are incorporated into the hair shaft as it grows, the ten-panel hair drug test offers a unique advantage in detecting past drug use, making it especially useful for monitoring individuals in recovery or those undergoing treatment for substance abuse.

• Widely Accepted in Employment and Healthcare: The Ten-panel hair drug test is commonly used by employers for pre-employment screenings or random drug testing programs. It is also an essential tool in healthcare settings to monitor patients prescribed certain medications or those with a history of substance abuse.

How the Test Works

To perform the test, a small sample of hair is collected, usually from the scalp, although body hair can also be used. The sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is analyzed for traces of drug metabolites that have incorporated into the hair over time. The test is non-invasive and provides accurate, reliable results.
