Failed a Drug Test? How a Polygraph Exam Can Help Clarify the Truth
A failed drug test can lead to serious consequences—loss of employment, legal trouble, custody issues, or damage to your reputation. But what if you’re telling the truth? What if the test was wrong?
At Spectrum Polygraph Services, we help people facing drug test disputes prove their honesty through a confidential, certified polygraph exam.
Why Consider a Polygraph After a Failed Drug Test?
Polygraph exams are often used to:
- Refute false-positive results
- Support claims of accidental ingestion or contamination
- Defend against probation or legal violations
- Clarify disputes in custody or employment hearings
- Restore trust with family, employers, or partners
While polygraphs don’t replace laboratory evidence, they can strengthen your credibility in both legal and personal contexts.
Common Situations We Support
✅ Employment Disputes
- Denying recent drug use after a failed pre-employment or random screening
- Supporting your explanation during internal investigations
- Reinforcing your honesty in appeals or arbitration
✅ Probation or Parole Violations
- Asserting no voluntary drug use after a violation report
- Helping attorneys present mitigating or clarifying evidence
- Preventing revocation of probation based on disputed results
✅ Custody or Family Disputes
- Defending yourself against accusations of active drug use
- Supporting claims of recovery and sobriety
- Addressing concerns raised during supervised visits or legal motions
✅ False Positives
Even highly reliable drug tests can return:
- Cross-reactivity with legal medications
- Lab or collection errors
- Accidental exposure (e.g., secondhand smoke or food contamination)
How the Polygraph Exam Works
Every drug-related exam includes:
- Private consultation – We discuss the details of your failed test and what you wish to prove
- Question design – We create focused, legally defensible yes/no questions
- Pre-test interview – We explain the process and review all questions with you
- Testing phase – Sensors record your body’s responses while you answer
- Results and report – You’ll receive a written report
All testing is conducted by a certified APA examiner, and services are available in English and Spanish.
Are Polygraph Results Admissible?
Polygraph results are not always admissible in court, but they:
- Are often used in plea deals, family court, and HR reviews
- Can influence probation officers and judges
- Provide documentation that supports honesty and transparency
Many legal professionals encourage clients to take polygraphs to show good faith.
