Do they test for drugs when taking a physical for teens?

Answer 1

They never tested for drugs in my physical in 8th grade if that's around the area you mean saying teens. Or if you do sports I can see 6th grade physical. No, unless for some reason your parents tell the doctor to do it, they will not test for illegal drugs.

Answer 2

No not unless there's a reason to drug test. Schools generally don't give a drug test, but a parent may request one. In a physical blood is taken so drugs may show up in a panel, plus a doctor can tell through the physical examination that someone is taking drugs. What always surprises me is that addicts think no one knows they are using, but all you have to do is spend 10 minutes with someone and look at them to see the drug use.
