If you’re scheduled for a drug test, you may be wondering what to expect. One common question is whether or not you will be patted down before the test. The answer is that it depends on the type of drug test you are taking and the policies of the testing facility.
For urine drug tests, it is unlikely that you will be patted down. However, the testing facility may require you to empty your pockets and remove any bulky clothing, such as jackets or hoodies. This is to prevent any attempts to cheat the test by bringing in synthetic urine or other substances.
For hair drug tests, you may be patted down to ensure that you are not wearing a wig or hairpiece that could be used to cheat the test. The testing facility may also take a small sample of hair from various locations on your head to ensure accurate results.
