The typical urine drug test is not going to pick up on hard drugs. The only test that would pick up on that would be hair sample testing, and that is very expensive and very RARELY used.
It picks up more than you think. In fact, one of our drivers got busted for pot. He knew that he could be drug tested at any time, so he bought some stuff that guaranteed the passage of a drug test. You mix it with a lot of water and you supposedly will pass the test.
Well, he didn't pass the test because the test also detects these agents some people try to use to cover up narcotics usage.
When you go for these tests, you are asked a series of questions. One of them is for any prescription drugs you have taken. One time when I went, I told the nurse that my dentist had me on pain medication, but I haven't taken a pill in over a week. Two weeks later (I'm assuming when they got the results back) they did contact my dentist to confirm the medication I took and what dosage.
