THE COST OF ALCOHOL ABUSE
Alcohol abuse is a serious disease that is attributed to 79,000 deaths, 1.6 million hospitalizations and an economic loss of over $180 billion per year. The Hair Alcohol Abuse Test will definitively tell you if your client or employee is an abusive alcohol drinker. Through forensic science, it gives you the proof you might need in child custody cases, pre-hire decisions or just peace of mind.
This test is perfect for these groups:
- Attorneys: Prove your client is fit to have custody of children.
- Employers: Find out if your employees or potential new hires are abusing alcohol.
- Healthcare Professionals: Identify people with an alcohol addiction or measure the efficacy of an alcohol treatment program.
- Parents of Teenagers: Test your kids to be certain they are not abusing alcohol.
THE SCIENCE
Only hair will give a history. Blood is used for drivers who are actually intoxicated, but alcohol in blood decays at a rate of about one unit per hour, so it is lost quickly. However, while the blood is feeding the hair root, minute traces of alcohol metabolite become trapped in the hair providing an alcohol history, which we can detect. Basically, the more FAEEs, the more alcohol is consumed.
THE RESULTS
Your accurate results are analyzed by an accredited laboratory and are available in less than 2 weeks.
The results report gives you a “positive” or “negative” result for alcohol abuse and a numeric level of FAEE concentration, measured in nanograms (ng)/milligrams (mg). The positive or negative result on the report will indicate whether the donor consumes alcohol abusively.
The suggested indications of FAEE concentrations below 1.0 ng/mg are generalized alcohol consumption habits. Ethanol is present in all hair including those that abstain from alcohol, however these trace amounts are products of the environment. They do not correlate to alcohol which has been consumed and are considered the “baseline” for the test.
