Solutions For Life Style Drug Testing
EBI offers hair testing solutions for employers that have even a greater concern with candidates that are constant or long-term abusers of drugs. Many employers that utilize hair testing include industries such as healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturers or positions that require high security clearance or access to narcotics or prescription drugs. Lab based hair follicle drug testing can generally detect the presence of drugs for about 90 days. This time period varies depending on the rate that the subject’s hair grows. A sample can be obtained instantly in an office environment and with little effort. The sample is securely shipped to a certified lab to be analyzed and the results are provided electronically through EBI’s secured online ordering and retrieval website, MyEBI.
