Why choose TDDA’s hair drug and alcohol testing services?
TDDA’s hair testing process, which features a robust internal chain of custody, is modelled after the globally accepted US federal guidelines published by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), as well as that of other accrediting agencies, such as the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
The US-based laboratory TDDA utilises follows cut-off levels generally accepted industry-wide. Once samples are received at the lab, a report is produced within 1-3 business days.
What is a hair drug and/or alcohol test?
Hair drug & alcohol testing detects a lifestyle of drug use as opposed to one-off or infrequent use. Since a bloodstream feeds hair growth, TDDA can assist in detecting drug and/or alcohol use by analysing a small sample of hair.
Benefits of hair drug & alcohol testing

- Long detection timeframe—90 days being the standard testing timeframe
- Collection is safe, simple and non-invasive
- Flexible collection: while head hair is preferred, body hair can also be used
- Results are not affected by external contaminants
- Month by month or defined period analysis are available on request
- Results are admissible in court
What drugs can be tested for?
TDDA offers a range of hair drug test panels (ranging from a 5-drug panel to an 18-drug panel), which cover a wide range of drug types depending on the requirement. We can also test for alcohol by identifying Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG), a known alcohol marker. Speak to TDDA today about what hair drug or alcohol panels best suit your requirements.
