Addiction Recovery: Drug Addiction Facts

Question: Ad a faith-based addiction recovery home, when they drug test you, do they watch you urinate?

My son will be staying at a place called Faith House, run by a church group for ex- felons and recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. There are 14 guys and a live- in house manager. He said they told him he will be randomly tested for drugs once or twice a week. He wants to know if they will send him to a bathroom for the sample or if they will watch the urine come out of him (I honestly think it's more because of bladder shyness that he's worried)

I've had a friend who had to be drug tested a few times, I believe they usually stand by the door in some cases but don't actually stare you down. It really depends on the place, it might be better to ask them for your son.

The only way you are going to get an accurate answer is for you to call Faith House and ask, as every organization is different.

DEPENDS ON THE HOME... BUT IN GENERAL NO THEY WON'T ACTUALLY WATCH HIM GO. BECAUSE MANY ARE COURT MANDATED TO TEST REGULARLY THE HOMES WILL MAKE THEM DRESS DOWN TO THEIR UNDERWARE & GO INTO A CLEAN CHECKED RESTROOM AND TAKE SAMPLE FROM THEM IMMEDIATLY WHEN THEY EXIT
