If you've been charged with a DUI in Livingston County, you will have some sort of alcohol testing while on bond to the court. The following methods are used to test for alcohol:
Oral fluid/saliva - The Livingston County courts or testing facility may use a swab to collect fluid from your mouth; the sample is then sent to a lab for testing. This method is a bit limited in how long it can go back, and the different drugs that can be tested.
Hair testing - Your hair could be tested by a Livingston County court or testing facility, which allows the analysis to go back longer than most other methods. Any drug usage will be contained in your hair follicle.
Urine testing - this is a common method to test for drugs and alcohol. It allows for testing for a wide variety of drugs and to go back in time at least 72 hours.
Blood - not commonly used while on bond or probation, but commonly used during the initial Livingston County DUI arrest.
