  • The results of your latest drug test are in, and
    the news isnt good youve tested positive for
    a controlled substance. Youre probably asking,
    what happens now? The answer to that question
    depends on your specific circumstances.

3
  • Some employers drug test job applicants as a
    routine part of the hiring process. If youve
    tested positive on a pre-employment drug test,
    youve most likely been disqualified from
    consideration for the job and will need to look
    for work elsewhere.

4
  • Job applicants arent the only ones who might be
    asked to take a drug test by an employer. Some
    workplaces also test current employees, either
    according to a schedule or because of suspicion
    of drug use. If an employee tests positive, an
    employer can take several types of action.

Consequences of a Positive Test
  • If youve tested positive on a workplace drug
    test, the consequences can include
  • Suspension/forced leave
  • Termination
  • Demotion/loss of position or privileges
  • Loss of benefits, such as workers comp or
    unemployment

6
  • According to a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court,
    any middle or high school student participating
    in competitive extracurricular activities can be
    randomly drug tested. If youre a high school
    athlete who tests positive for drugs, you could
    face suspension or expulsion from school, as well
    as suspension from after school activities.

7
  • If youre on parole, you may be subject to random
    drug tests. Even worse, testing positive to one
    of these random tests can result in your parole
    officer declaring you have violated the terms of
    your probation, and should be imprisoned for the
    rest of your sentence period.

8
  • Depending on the circumstances of your drug test,
    other consequences for testing positive can
    include
  • Imprisonment
  • Fines
  • Suspension of drivers license
  • Expensive legal fees

9
  • If youve tested positive on a drug test, there
    are several steps you can take, including hiring
    a lawyer and asking for a retest. Once the
    results of a test have come in, however, the
    damage is largely done. The best way to avoid the
    consequences of a positive drug test are to avoid
    testing positive in the first place. Synthetic
    urine and detox drinks are just two of the
    innovative ways to help you pass a drug test.
