Abstract
A variety of scams are employed by drug court clients to circumvent the drug collection process and avoid detection of their drug use. There are five main ways in which clients attempt to avoid detection in drug testing (1):
-
1.
Adulteration.
-
2.
Tampering.
-
3.
Substitution.
-
4.
Impostors.
-
5.
Bribes and threats.
We review these methods in this chapter.
