Pass a Drug Test
Almost everybody will need to pass a drug test of some kind. For this reason, it’s very important that you know what you need to do to make sure that you’re one of the people who passes. First, you should know what your rights are with regard to drug tests, what you can do to avoid having to take a drug test, and finally, what you can do to make sure that you will pass a drug test.
Unfortunately, there usually aren’t any specific laws that state that a drug test is a violation of your privacy. This does not, however, mean that you can’t challenge any decisions that are made off of the drug test, but it does mean that in most cases, the companies that are giving tests think that they are doing the right thing.
While you might have a difficult time if you test positive for an illegal drug that you are taking, you may be able to challenge drug tests that give false positives, or that may have shown that you are on a prescription drug, or are pregnant. Some urinalysis drug tests can turn up information about pregnancies and other sensitive medical information that can be used to turn you down for a job. If this happens, you should definitely challenge the test results.
One thing that you should make sure that you know is how long it generally takes for any drugs you may use to work their way out of your system. For instance, most drugs only take 2-5 days to work out of your system. If you have a few days advanced warning, you should be able to cleanse the drug out before you have to take the drug test. You should be able to pass a drug test this way.
However, marijuana can last in your system for much longer – sometimes up to an entire month. If you smoke marijuana and you don’t have enough time before your drug test to be sure that it will all get out of your system, you should probably look for a detoxification program that will work quickly enough to get you ready to pass a drug test.
Depending on the type of drug test that you might be taking, there are several other things that you can try in order to increase the chance that you will pass a drug test. For instance, if you’re going to take a hair drug test, you’ll need to use cleansing shampoo, or cut your hair (otherwise, the test may detect drugs up to three years after the last time you use). Depending on the type of drug test, you might also be able to find out what kinds of drugs it detects, and what methods/products are best.
Good luck!
