Methamphetamine, often called meth, is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant. Understanding meth drug testing can be crucial for various reasons, whether you’re a concerned parent, an employer, or someone curious about the process. Meth drug tests can detect the presence of meth in the body through several methods, including urine, blood, saliva, and hair tests. Each method has its own detection window and level of accuracy. Urine tests are the most common, typically detecting meth use within the past 1-4 days. Blood tests offer a shorter detection window but are more precise.
