How long does meth stay in your nails?

Dr. Dheeraj Raina answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Depends: I am not sure about meth, but in general drugs can be detected in nails for a few months - longer in slower growing nails like toenails. On a different note, if you have an addiction problem, please seek help for same asap rather than worrying about how to get a clean drug test. Life is too short to live as a slave to any substance.
