If you want to pass a drug test, abstain and wait until the substance clears your system.There are some home remedies you can try if you need to take a urine test.Some home remedies can be used for special types of tests, such as blood, hair, and saliva tests.You can try to increase the odds of passing the test.If you are caught tampering with a drug test, it's a good idea to avoid it.
Step 1: The test should be delayed as long as possible.
Depending on the substance and how much flexibility you have with your testing day, you might be able to wait until the drug is out of your system.If you can, check to see what the typical window of detection is for the substance.Alcohol, Amphetamines, Cocaine, Marijuana, Heroin, and Opiates are some of the drugs that can be detected.
Step 2: In the days and weeks leading up to the test, drink lots of water.
It takes time to get water out of your system.In the weeks leading up to your test, you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day.Carrying a water bottle with you during the day is a good idea.Drink more water on hot days.
Step 3: When you know about the test, stop using the substance.
If you have at least a few days warning, stopping right away will give your body enough time to clear the drugs from your system.Don't use in the days and weeks leading up to your test.You can call your doctor if you're worried about withdrawal symptoms.If you can't go without the substance, you may need a supervised medical cleanse.
Step 4: Go to the house on the morning of the test.
The highest concentration of a substance will be found in your first morning urine.Don't go to the testing facility without urinating.It's a good idea to urinate before you leave the house.If your test is at 9:00 am, get up at 7 am and urinate right away.
Step 5: 2 hours before your test, drink at least 24 ounces of water.
When you don't have a lot of time to prepare, drinking lots of fluid before a urine test is one of the most common techniques.If you want to increase your fluid output, start drinking water the morning of your test or at least 2 hours before.If you have a drug test at 11:00 am, wake up by drinking water.
Step 6: B-complex vitamins can be used to color your urine.
When you drink more water, your urine will become pale, which can be a sign that you have been drinking too much water.B-complex vitamins can be taken when you start drinking water.If you start drinking water at 9:00 am, you should take a B-complex vitamins at the same time.B-complex vitamins can be purchased at a grocery or drug store.
Step 7: Take an over-the-counter diuretic to increase your fluid output.
It is possible to increase your fluid output by taking an over-the-counter diuretic a few hours before your test.Most drug and grocery stores have hypertension pills.Don't exceed the recommended dose.Follow the instructions of the manufacturer.Coffee, tea, and cranberry juice have mild diuretic effects if you don't want to buy pills.
Step 8: If you are being tested for marijuana, add Visine to your urine.
One study showed that adding a few drops of Visine to urine helped to lower its THC concentration.You could add a few drops of Visine to the urine after you produce your sample if you are able to do it in a private room.If you try this, make sure you don't get monitored.Depending on where you live, getting caught tampering with your sample could result in an automatic fail, as well as legal trouble.
Step 9: Don't use for more than 4 hours before a saliva or blood test.
The tests are meant to reflect current impairment, but they are more sensitive than a urine test.When you are suspected of using on the job or involved in a car accident, saliva and blood tests are usually administered.If you have to go for a blood test right away, there is very little you can do.
Step 10: Before taking a saliva test, eat, drink, and use mouthwash.
The more saliva you can produce, the better!If you don't have mouthwash on hand, you can eat a meal and drink a few cups of water.It will help to get the THC out of your saliva so it won't show up on a mouth swab test.
Step 11: Before a hair test, use a clarifying or anti-dandruff product.
You may be able to reduce the amount of drugs on your hair by using these types of shampoos.Pick up a bottle of anti-dandruff or clarifying shampoo and wash your hair 2 to 3 times on the day of your test if you have any warning.This is not perfect.If you have been using substances in the last few months, hair follicle tests are a good way to find out.If you use this strategy, you might fail the hair follicle test.
Step 12: You should check to see if the drug is detected by the test.
The 5-panel and 10-panel test are the main types of drug tests.The 5-panel test checks for drugs.The 10-panel test checks for everything on the five panel test.You might be safe if the drug you're using isn't on the test.Employers may test for alcohol if you are suspected of drinking on the job.There are tests that can be used for designer drugs.
Step 13: Tell the drug tester about the drugs you're taking.
If you take a prescription drug that falls under one of the drug categories they are testing for, you should let the facility know.A doctor's note is likely to be the proof of your prescription.If you take a prescription amphetamine for ADD and get a 5-panel test, you need to let the drug testing facility know.
Step 14: It's a bad idea to eat foods with poppy seeds.
The same plant that is used to make opiates can cause false positives on drug tests.The days and weeks leading up to your test are a good time to avoid eating foods with poppy seeds.Let the drug testing facility know if the test was random and you ate something with poppy seeds in it.If you get a false negative, you may be able to take the test again.Bagels, muffins, rolls, and cakes are some of the foods that may contain poppy seeds.
Step 15: Don't use strategies that are unsafe.
Few of the home remedies for passing a drug test actually work.Don't try these methods because they are not proven and are even dangerous.You will definitely want to avoid taking goldenseal root.Synthetic urine can be added with bleach, ammonia, detergents, or vinegar.It's possible to drink bleach or other household cleanser.
