Drug tests are used throughout the drug rehab and recovery process for a variety of reasons. Drug tests are generally administered prior to admission to a drug or alcohol program in order to determine the level and type of substances in any incoming patient’s system.Drug testing is not a treatment method, but rather a tool that can be used before and during rehab and while in recovery to facilitate and encourage an abstinent lifestyle. Detox may be the initial step in a drug or alcohol treatment program after a positive drug test. After reaching a stable physical balance, behavioral therapies, individual and group counseling sessions, and peer support groups will all be incorporated into a successful treatment plan in order to facilitate a successful recovery program.
