Screening test is immunoassay. Confirmation test is GC/MS. Confirmation tests are not done at the local level; they are performed at one of six drug testing laboratories. The Army's lab at Fort Meade, Maryland, INVENTED the GC/MS protocol. They are better at it than anyone and their techniques are unimpeachable. If you're doing drugs and your urine specimen falls into the hands of this lab, the best your lawyer can do is to try to get your discharge upgraded. They KNOW this test stands up in court.

No... I never remember them cutting my hair to tell if I was doing drugs, only the standard urinalysis.

Anything they suspect might need to be tested for. The most obvious would be THC metabolites, amphetamines, opiates and opioids, but various others might be included.

You will take a blood and urine test (including a test for drugs). Females will be tested for pregnancy. Your blood will be tested for HIV, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, RPR, and Alcohol. There are also two different urine tests, one is the legal drug urine and the other tests for pH, blood, protein, and specific gravity.


How can you pass a hair follicle test after doing Vicodin?

You really can't. Hair tests are over 99% accurate and practically impossible to cheat. If you've used drugs in the last 90 days, they will find out. A standard hair test uses the last 1.5 inches of hair, which goes back about 90 days. Longer hair samples can be taken to go further back in time, but that is atypical.

Will washing your hair with tide detergent help pass a hair test?

I have a friend who went thru a nasty divorce and she regularly smoked marijuana (I suspect that she had been using meth also). She was ordered to take a hair folicle test. I remember that she had to color her hair(the same color it already was not to look suspicious) in order to break the hair folicles outer layer then she washed her hair repeatedly with dish detergent, like 20 times she said. She passed her test.
