Hair Follicle Drug Testing in Tucson, AZ

90-Day History. Results in 3-5 Days.

A hair follicle drug test in Tucson detects drug use over the past 90 days using a small sample of hair—more tamper-resistant than urine tests and accepted for employment, legal, and court-ordered screenings. Walk in, no appointment needed.

What Happens During Your Collection

Most people walking in have never given a hair sample before, so here's the whole process.

You'll show a government-issued photo ID and confirm why you're testing—about five minutes.

Your collector then takes a small sample from the crown of your head, roughly the width of a shoelace tip, snipped close to the scalp with sterile scissors. The specimen is sealed and labeled in front of you, and your signed, lab-confirmed report posts to your secure portal in 3–5 business days.

Still Have Questions About 
Hair Follicle Testing?

Can body hair be used if I am bald or have short hair? Answer: Yes. If head hair is unavailable or shorter than 1.5 inches, our collectors can source a sample from body hair (such as the chest, underarms, or legs). Body hair grows at a different rate and typically provides an expanded detection window of up to 6 to 12 months. Samples from different areas are never mixed.

How far back does a hair follicle drug test detect drug use? A standard head hair sample looks back approximately 90 days — about three months of drug history. Body hair samples can reach back up to 12 months, depending on the growth cycle of the area collected.

Do I need an appointment for a hair follicle drug test in Tucson? No appointment is required. Our West Tucson lab on St. Mary's Rd accepts walk-ins Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM. Booking online is available if you want a guaranteed time slot, but most patients are checked in, collected, and out the door in under 20 minutes. Same-day collection is the standard, not the exception.
