My job requires me to take regular drug tests, but I am worried that my recreational drug use will be detected. Is there a way to make sure no one finds out I am using drugs?

It is highly unlikely that your drug use will go unnoticed if you are taking regular drug tests. To ensure no one finds out, the most discreet option is to attend a facility where it is anonymous and confidential, as public places like bars or clubs can be riskier. Be careful who you tell and what drugs you take; some drugs show up on tests more often than others and may cause greater suspicion if detected consistently. Lastly, remember that even though people generally keep this information private, there are always risks associated with taking recreational drugs—be mindful of those risks as well.

The best way to make sure no one finds out about your recreational drug use is to be extra careful and use caution when taking drugs. Make sure to do so in private settings, avoid using drugs around people who could potentially tell your employer, and don’t let the same pattern of behavior become habituated or normalized. Additionally, some over-the-counter substances such as CBD can lead to positives on drug screens if you are tested for them specifically; while there may not be any negative ramifications initially, it might not bode well for the future should your employer decide to do additional testing. Your best bet would be to simply play it safe by limiting any activity that involves the use of controlled substances outside of what is allowed in a clinical setting/as prescribed by a physician.
