Tamper-Proof: Hair samples are nearly impossible to adulterate, ensuring the integrity of the testing process.

Broad Substance Detection: Hair testing can identify a wide range of substances, including marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and more.

Ease of Collection: The collection process is simple, non-invasive, and can be conducted at your workplace or one of our testing locations.

Addressing Common Questions About Hair Drug Testing

We understand that employers and employees may have questions or concerns about hair drug testing. Here are some common inquiries and how Talcada addresses them:

Does hair testing detect recent drug use? Hair testing is not ideal for detecting very recent drug use (within the last 7 days). It is better suited for identifying patterns of drug use over a longer period.

Is hair drug testing invasive? The process is non-invasive and requires a small hair sample, typically collected from the scalp. For individuals with little or no hair, body hair can be used.

Can individuals cheat a hair drug test? Hair testing is tamper-proof. Attempts to alter or cleanse hair samples are ineffective against the testing methods used in certified laboratories.

What happens if an employee tests positive? Talcada provides clear and actionable results, along with guidance on next steps, including referrals for treatment or disciplinary actions, as per your company’s policies.
