B3 Best Practices Review Drug & Alcohol Testing

Effective drug testing in Drug Court is essential to the overall success of the program. This
presentation is designed to be a comprehensive review designed to provide information
and strategies for building and maintaining a successful abstinence monitoring program.
Collection strategies and result interpretation – two essential components of a credible
testing program will be discussed. Attendees will learn the reasons for testing, how to
select clients for maximum abstinence surveillance, and what specimens yield the best
results. Additional focus issues will include controlling sample tampering and the use of
creatinine measurements, the application of EtG/EtS monitoring, the challenges of on-site
testing, dispelling popular drug testing myths and much more. This session is intended to
encourage practitioners to know more about drug testing than their clients.
