[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 713647, member: 1967"] I would say there is a 99.9% probability that he was caught using. However, I do have to tell you a story. When my daughter was in her last sober living, she called me crying that they told her that she had tested positive for suboxone and that she hadn't used anything. I just assumed she was lying just like all of the other times she was using and swore she wasn't and told her she had to deal with the consequences and hung up on her. To my utter shock, I got another call 15 minutes later from the director of the program who was calling to tell me that the initial results turned out to be false when they looked at the follow up lab testing. She said she was calling because my daughter was devastated that I thought she had let us down again and was really upset. So I guess false positives do happen once in a million times (I'm sure I am exaggerating here). Relapses are a very common part of recovery. However, the addicts I have come to know through my daughter that are serious about recovery own up to the relapse, get a white chip, and start over again. My daughter's roommate recently relapsed after a year of sobriety and went out drinking one night. The next day she regretted it, told my daughter and their sponsor (they share a common sponsor) and went to a meeting that night to get a white chip signifying that she slipped and was starting over. My daughter said it is very hard to have to do that in front of others. What is the program doing about it? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
