Drug testing can be performed using hair or bodily fluids such as urine, saliva, or blood. Hair testing offers long-term detection, is non-invasive, and identifies drug use over weeks or months. Bodily fluid testing provides immediate results, detecting recent consumption but with a shorter detection window. Both methods use immunoassay screening followed by confirmatory analysis via GC/MS or HPLC for accuracy. Selection depends on monitoring goals, detection timeframe, and context. Combining both approaches enhances reliability, supports legal defensibility, and informs forensic, workplace, and clinical applications.
