An employer may order a drug test before offering a prospective employee a job, or as a scheduled or random screening at work. Blood samples may be used. However, urine, saliva, and hair follicle drug tests are most common, and which people most often fail. These tests look for metabolites, or the remnants of chemical changes that occur after using psychoactive drugs.

In 2016, 4.2% of employees in the U.S. tested positive for illicit drugs. An increase in marijuana, methamphetamine, and cocaine use has triggered a rise in the test failure rate.1 You can, however, pass a drug test using products from ClearTest.
Urinalysis is the most common form of drug testing in the workplace. It can detect metabolites such as TCH-COOH. The fatsoluble compound can remain in the body weeks after smoking marijuana.
To collect a sample, a test subject must: • Urinate into a collection cup; or • Collect urine from a toilet before flushing. • Seal the test cup before submittal.
People may substitute someone else’s urine or drink fluids to dilute their own. ClearTest offers more practical and undetectable ways to pass a urine drug test, with products like: • Instant Clean Add-it-ive: Destroys toxins in a sample. • Urine Luck: A chemical that destroys unwanted substances. • Synthetic Urine: Substitutes your own to pass a drug test.
Saliva is used to detect the presence of actual drugs or their components. For example, it can identify THC in cannabis. Saliva is useful because it: • Identifies short-lived compounds. • Detects active drug use. • Is easily obtained.
Drugs, including alcohol and nicotine, remain in saliva for only a few hours, so saliva testing detects recent use. Traces of drugs can be cleared using our: • Dr. Green’s Cool Rinse Mouthwash • Oral Clear Saliva Neutralizing Gum Both of these products should be used 30 minutes prior to being tested.
Employers also screen for drug use and traces of drugs using hair follicles. A hair follicle drug test is often preferred because: • Some drugs can be detected for 90 days or longer.2 • Metabolites exit the body through hair follicles. • Metabolites are trapped in hairs as they grow.
One downside: Drug use during the prior week is hard to detect.
Any metabolites and toxins trapped in hair must be removed to pass a hair follicle screening. Products that can help include: • Clear Choice Hair Follicle Shampoo • Dr. Green’s Wash Away Shampoo Both products remain active for up to 8 hours and are undetectable in drug tests.
