What are the most common biological samples used for treatment program drug testing?

Hair and sweat
Blood and saliva
Urine and breath
None of the above

The correct answer is: Urine and breath

The most common biological samples used for treatment program drug testing are urine and breath. Urine is widely utilized in drug testing because it is non-invasive, easy to collect, and can detect a range of substances and their metabolites over an extended timeframe. Breath testing, particularly for substances like alcohol, provides immediate results and can be easily administered in various settings. Hair and sweat, while they do have applications in drug testing, are not as prevalent in treatment program testing. Hair testing can detect long-term use of substances but requires a longer timeframe to analyze, and sweat testing is less common due to its practical limitations. Blood and saliva testing is used but is less common for routine monitoring in treatment programs due to factors such as invasiveness, required facilities for blood draws, and shorter detection windows. Thus, urine and breath are the preferred samples for these specific contexts due to their practicality and efficacy in detecting substance use.
