    If a opiate addict went clean for 72 hours for a drug test they would be in very bad shape by the time they get tested again. It would be completely obvious that they are in withdrawal. They would be very anxious, shivering, vomiting, and shitting.

    Retesting after 72 hours is a pretty good indicator that someone isn’t using so long as you also observe physical symptoms.
