It's called the RIAH Method (radioimmuno- assay of hair) from Psychemedics. And it's based on the scientific fact that drugs in the bloodstream become fixed in hair as it grows—in proportion to the amount ingested. With the RIAH Method, drug contents are extracted by a special proprietary process. The extract is then analyzed by an FDA-approved radioimmunoassay technique, With a few strands of hair, detection of such substances as cocaine, marijuana, opiates, PCP and methaqualone is achieved—even among occasional users. And there's no unpleasant sample collection procedures. The result? You can chart a complete his- tory of drug use or abstinence over several months or years—depending upon hair length. You may determine, for example, if a per- son has used cocaine, approximately when he or she did so, and whether the person is a light, heavy, or non-user. Equally important, the scientific basis of RIAH testing has been demonstrated after 10 years of study in leading, independent labora- tories worldwide. Orders are now being accepted at our modern, fully equipped laboratory.
