Whats the time detection difference with home drug test and test from labs with specialized equipment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The elimination time for various drugs is very different. Whether one considers a test to be positive or not, also depends on the threshold for the positivity. Lab tests are more sensitive than home tests, but it is not feasible to provide a general statement of the time difference for detection by the two methods for the multiple drugs of abuse.
