Does ASAP or ADS use the EtG test?

Does anyone know if ASAP/ADS tests for alcohol when they do the urine test? Apparently the EtG test can prove alcohol consumption up to 80 hours after.

ADS takes your urine randomly during your classes.

ASAP makes you do the breathalyzer randomly during your classes.

Don't drink the night before ASAP and your life will be fine.

I think I had 2 urine tests over 10 weeks, about the same with the breathalyzer.

i was worried about the same thing 2 years ago 1st dwi. they did breath test randomly, the whole group always. piss test is for drugs. they use, i think seven panel, pot coke ghb horse pain killers etc. i am convinced they do not do ETG. ETG is unreliable due to so much alcohol in daily life, hand sanitizer etc. do the research. to do ETG is expensive and they need to give a do and dont list. but if you still drink on probation you are vulnerable to DIP charges,etc,
they would, however, love to get you to self report. like saying we have test that can back for months (yes they exist) mostly for drugs.

do not drink the night before or you risk having a measureable breath alcohol depending on how much you drank. be aware of ADS they some sneaky bitches, paid to try fuck with your head.

So far no EtG, but I'm in the lowest level of treatment, which is probably why. Just ethanol urine tests and some blow tests.

I will tell you and you can choose to believe what I type or not because honestly its your ass not mine but I have first hand knowledge of this from not your side of the fence..............

ADS can and will on their discretion screen your urine for alcohol. They can choose to do so for different reasons. If its your drug of choice, if you seem drunk but your not blowing numbers, they switch it up to throw everyone off, etc. It is up to the discretion of your counselor and his/her feeling on whether they think you are staying sober or not. That said, this also means that there may be many times they don't check your urine for alcohol. They will breathalyze you at intake and for every group meeting you are asked to attend. ALSO, yes ADS sends their urine samples to the Fairfax lab for testing and then receive the results in about 2 days BUT all sites are stocked with instant tests as well and those are a stick that you don't choose what is being tested, it tests for everything. My opinion is it's not worth it to drink how ever many days before you go in just in case but then again if you think its ok to chance being violated and possible jail time, then maybe you need those classes anyway. And for the person who asked about THC, YES GUARANTEED ADS will test you for THC at your assessment, doesn't matter why your there!

ASAP is different than ADS completely. Not even run by the county, its a state funded program. Their intake process and then their classes are also done differently. Again it depends on why you are there and how much your counselor has time to put into your case with the HUGE caseloads they carry.

Did I miss anyone's question?

1st DUI, lowest educational level;

Fairfax ASAP did not test for THC, or do any kind of urine tests what so ever. With that said, they probably can, so don't mess with it.

You will be breathalyzed by your P/O the first time he speaks with you during your intake session.

No one in my class was breathalyzed for the entire 10 weeks. Of course if someone appears drunk, or appears to have been drinking, they will as the instructor has all the tools to do so with them.

If you're not a drunk, not drinking for a year is not so bad, sure it sucks, but since you're not driving where-ever you please anyways, you should not have any real temptation to do so. That's kind of their point. Of course if you are a drunk then maybe this is a good wakeup call to get your shit together and get help.

Hi all, I was charged with first dui in Arlington recently. I refused breathalyzer because I knew i had 3 drinks of beer in an hour. I am truly ashamed and will NEVER drink again period. Alcohol has never been important in my life but I do enjoy Mary jane. I smoke on a daily basis, about 0.5 grams to help me deal with sleep anxiety and depression.

My court date is 45 days away so I should be able to get clean by than. But my lawyer suggest that I do voluntary ASAP course. Is that a good idea? Will they test for THC in Arlington? I have no prior am 35 YO. Is it worth taking a chance? My attorney says they won't test me since this is voluntary but I am scared. It's already has been an emotional roller coaster plus I've spent over 10K in fees and attorney cost and expert witness. Hoping for a positive outcome but who knows. Last 3 months in my life, everything that can go wrong has so I don't know if I should take this risk.

Any advice?

Or unless you are an active addict--as many people are & I'm sure many of the people who've frequented this forum fall into this category.

Bear no malice toward others--decency & kindness are far better gestures to make in this world.

Have a great day.

I had a dui back in November and was breath tested EVERY class so dont drink before your classes. Then my unsupervised probation started and since then they never contacted me to have a drug test taken. However my manager knows I still to weekly counseling. Besides the completion of classes and a charge over the summer, I havent heard a peep out of her and I know her and my counselor do not talk either. Take in to consideration my circumstances but if you are on ASAP probation then try and stay clean, but if you cant for long then at least STOP TWO MONTHS BEFORE IT ENDS. God knows they try to fuck you in the last couple months. 757 area by the way, almost done. Good luck homies
