I have a strong background in addiction, so I will by law require urine drug screen, at random intervals, particularly with adults to verify medication use and prevent diversion. I can’t not prescribe controlled substance by law, if I were to find alternative illicit substance in your urine drug screen. This is law that I must abide by through the FDA.
