They often cause the person to do things that they normally wouldn&#8217;t do. For example, if parents get hooked on something such as cocaine, they may choose to buy more and more of it rather than feeding their children. While this sounds harsh, it is an all too real reality. Of course, there are plenty of other drugs readily available as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, it is no secret that America is facing an opioid epidemic. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that almost 400,000 people died from overdosing on the pills between 1999 and 2017. Not every case ends with someone dying though. However, substances such as these may leave the individual thinking they are okay to do things like drive when they are really impaired. Then, a catastrophe can strike in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful Tidbits About The Hair Strand Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that parents were mentioned above is that the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"\/hair-drug-test-12-panel\/\">hair strand test<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is usually reserved for court cases such as divorce and child custody hearings.

These tests allow laboratory technicians to take a look back at the individual&#8217;s previous 90-days. Anywhere between 100 and 200 strands are needed of a 1.5&#8243; length to complete the test.
