In court-ordered substance abuse programs, it is possible that facilitators might fail your urine test if they suspect that you have diluted your sample by drinking excessive amounts of water. Diluting urine by drinking large quantities of water is a common method some individuals use to try to mask the presence of drugs or alcohol in their system.
When a urine sample is collected for drug testing, laboratories typically check for the specific gravity and creatinine levels in the urine to determine whether it has been diluted. If the specific gravity and creatinine levels are unusually low, it may indicate that the sample has been adulterated by excessive water consumption.
If a court-ordered program or treatment facility has reason to believe that you are trying to tamper with your urine test, they may consider it a violation of the program's rules, and this could lead to consequences, such as a failed test, additional monitoring, or other penalties.
It is important to follow the guidelines and rules set forth by the court-ordered program and to be honest and transparent throughout the treatment process. If you have a legitimate reason for increased water consumption, it is advisable to discuss it with the program facilitators beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings or potential issues with the drug testing process. Always consult with legal professionals for advice specific to your situation and jurisdiction.
