The Child Hair Follicle Exposure Drug Test will determine the passive exposure to drugs in the hair of children.   Most young children are not drug users but are in the environment of drugs so the child hair drug tests for both the native and drug metabolites providing a much better insight in the child’s environment. Like the typical hair drug test, the child hair test has a detection window for up to 90 days and can be done on a child of any age.

This test is a laboratory-based test, and includes a screen and a confirmation, if necessary.
