tors licensed to prescribe Suboxone (Opioid treatment drug)
Spouses (confirm spouse is abstaining from their drug of choice)
Teens (pre and post treatment testing)
- The donor goes to the Quest Collection Center to provide a hair sample
- The specimen is overnighted to the Quest Diagnostics lab by Fed-ex
- It will arrive at the lab on the next day
- If results are negative, the results are typically received the day after receipt by the lab
- If the lab detects non-negative results, they will take several more days to finalize. During this time, the lab (Medical Review Officer) will attempt to talk to the donor. This is a check to see if any of the drug(s) they found are there by legal prescription. If the donor can provide a prescription number, the test results will not reflect that drug
The hair testing process will detect drugs used over the past 90 days (+/- due to hair growth speed). It will not pinpoint exact drug use history.
