Offenders in the program may also be tested for drug use. Not all offenders who participate in daily alcohol breath tests are tested for drugs, and some offenders may report for drug testing only. Assignment to one or the other type of testing is at the discretion of the judge who assigns offenders to the program. Based on House Bill 1306, urinalysis or drug patches can be used to test for cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, marijuana, oxycodone, phencyclidine (PCP), antidepressants, and methyl-enedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, “Ecstasy”). The patch is more widely used than urinalysis because of cost differences and program officials’ preference to avoid handling urine. Offenders using the patch come in to submit the patch for testing and get a replacement every 10 to 14 days.
• Drug testing can be tricky. Drug patches and urine tests may be needed. Female sheriff/police officials will need to be responsible for female offenders, especially for urine tests. Some jurisdictions have opted to use drug patches for this reason .
