This document is divided into eleven chapters: gaining support from criminal justice system representatives; integrating drug testing into the risk assessment phase, and supervised release process; chain of custody; testing of specimens; confidentiality; staffing; information system; procedures manual; costs of pretrial drug testing; and legal considerations. An appendix lists current drug testing applications by state.
