The AbuseCheck™ Hair Alcohol Abuse Test is a non-invasive testing procedure which provides a definitive timeline of alcohol abuse from one to six months depending on the test administered, to identify individuals with recent histories of alcohol abuse.
This forensic test is used by a variety of individuals, professionals, corporations and agencies to get definitive answers about alcohol abuse among clients, defendants, relatives, victims, and employees who may have been touched by alcohol abuse.
- Attorneys, law enforcement agencies – use in custody cases to determine if a parent is fit to have custody, test repeat offenders of DUI, spousal abuse, post-accident testing of the person at fault if BAC was not established quickly enough, such as in a hit-n-run case.
- Human resources – find out if current employees or potential new hires are abusing alcohol to determine fitness to work (especially with vehicles and heavy machinery or public safety jobs) or to investigate a decline in job performance. Can also be used by staffing agencies that screen potential hires for substance abuse.
- Healthcare professionals, healthcare facilities – identify people with alcohol addiction or prove a patient does not have a dependency problem, measure efficacy of an alcohol treatment program, detect recidivism among alcoholic population, screen organ donors.
- Forensics – detection of ethanol in a post-mortem toxicology report may provide insight into the individual’s history of alcohol consumption which may be relevant to a case or cause of death; provide evidence of alcohol abuse as a probable cause of wrongdoing or foul play.
- Parents and other relatives – test your teenagers or other family members to be certain they are not abusing alcohol, detect potential abuse problems early in development in order to institute corrective treatment.
- Public Sector: Many public organizations and sectors examining the physiological and behavioral effects of alcohol can utilize this test to aid in their research (i.e. studies between the correlation of alcohol habits and risk of vehicular accidents).
