Drug Detection Periods – Urine Testing
Drug Detection Periods are expressed in terms of lower and upper boundaries. Many factors can determine an individual’s placement within these boundaries. In general, the following factors will increase a drug’s detection period: chronic use, high levels of use, high potency, slow body metabolism, high body fat count (Marijuana and PCP), low fluid intake, and overall poor health.
