A licensed California therapist with a history of working in various court systems and law enforcement, Dr. Jorge Galindo concentrates on child, family, and marriage therapy. Among his other professional designations, Dr. Jorge Galindo is certified by Quest Diagnostics in hair follicle drug testing.
While a urine drug screening can determine if an individual has used a particular drug over the past few days, a hair follicle drug screening has a much longer detection window. This is because evidence of drug use will remain in a person’s hair for three months or more. Hair follicle tests can detect a wide range of substances including marijuana, cocaine, opioids, methamphetamine, ecstasy, and PCP. Typically performed under strict supervision to prevent tampering, a hair follicle screening begins by confirming the identity of the test subject. Technicians then collect between 100 and 120 hairs from different places on the crown of the subject’s head. These hairs then go to the laboratory, where they might undergo testing for any number of controlled substances.
