Hair Follicle Drug Testing provides a longer detection window than urine testing, typically 90 days versus 2-7 days. Hair testing detects drug metabolites that become trapped in the hair shaft as hair grows, providing a historical record of drug use.
A small sample of hair (about 100 strands) is collected from the head or body and analyzed at a certified laboratory. Hair testing is particularly effective at detecting patterns of repeated drug use and is harder to cheat than urine testing.
Through BlueHive's network of independent providers, employers can access hair testing as a standalone service or combined with urine testing for comprehensive drug screening programs.

A confirmed positive result may now be reported to an employer only by a medical review officer — a licensed physician who must act independently and hold clinical experience in controlled substance use disorders (§683, sub-§§7-A and 8, ¶E). The former "positive test result" is renamed "non-negative test result," and an applicant or employee must be given the opportunity to contest one by presenting a legitimate medical explanation to the MRO or confirmation laboratory before it is reported (§683, sub-§8, ¶B-1). The Act also confirms that Department of Labor authorization is required for any testing program and that an employer subject to federal testing requirements must test its non-federally-mandated employees in the same manner as its federally mandated ones. Employers governed by a federally mandated program — including DOT testing under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act — remain outside the subchapter under §681, sub-§8. Status: pending. Employers should review the source documentation for full details. BlueHive monitors Maine regulatory changes and updates employer compliance workflows accordingly.
