DESCRIPTION:
The FAEE Hair Alcohol Abuse Test is capable of detecting alcohol consumed over long term periods. Hair Alcohol Testing is definitive and can accurately determine if an individual is alcohol dependent. This test can help differentiate between social drinkers and those who consume alcohol excessively. The detection window for this test is up to six months, depending upon the length of hair submitted. A small sample of hair will be collected from several inconspicuous spots on the donor’s head. As a substitute, body hair can be used; however, detection windows vary for body hair and there is a small additional charge.
