A member asked:
When a newborns umbilical button is drug tested, how far back is it tested for meth??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is not what I test. If I have a reason to look for it, I can find evidence of drug exposure after ~12 weeks. It is not a routine newborn test but may be required if any of the staff expect drug use (state rules).
