What does Maryland state probation and parole test for in the urinalysis screening?

There are two tests. The department of mental health and hygiene ususally does an initial drug screen when someone first gets put on parole or probation. This test is more extensive than the test that is given on a regular basis to those on parole and probation.
The regular test tests for for drugs including Cocaine, Opiates (heroin, codeine, percocet, etc), marijuana, and benzodiazepines. This is current as of Fall 2011. A few years ago there were more drugs tested for in addition to the current four, but the reason that it is limited to just the current four now is that a study was done, and found that of the other drugs that were tested for (amphetamines, etc.) 98% of those testing positive for the drugs that are no longer on the on the test also tested for the positive for the other four drugs that are currently still tested for. The MD Div. of Parole and Probation therefore considered it a waste of resources to test for drugs in addition to Cocaine, Opiates (heroin, codeine, percocet, etc), marijuana, and benzodiazepines, because they were probably going to get those on parole and probation for a violation for one of the other four drugs types anyway, and it was not worth spending several thousands more a year for additional drugs.
Again, the initial mental health and hygine does test for much more, but that's usually only when someone does an intake, if specially requested by an agent after someone has failed a regular drug test, or if an agent gets certain intel that warrants a mental health and hygiene test. You can also probably find the same study that I found this information on online somewhere. It was part of the MD.gov web site under the division of parole and probation section, and I believe it was published by a PhD.D from one of the local major universities (I think University of Maryland) The study was done a few years ago, but I verified from a friend who is an agent what the current drugs still tested for are and they are still the same.

In theory, the possibility of parole or probation is an element of motivating rehabilitation.In reality there is no correlation between enforcement of law and the granting of probation or parole. In reality probation is largely granted as a means of moderating the court calendar, and parole is granted on almost an entirely arbitrary basis, but with some attention to prison/facility census.
