substance abuse counseling on probation 2

So, I have been on probation for 5 years. Just transferred in to a new state and am for the first time am being required to undergo substance abuse counseling and random drug screens. 
Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect? Are they going to test anything other than my urine? Or does this depend on the state? I'm asking because my urine will be clean by the time I have my first appointment next Monday but I'm not so sure about my blood or hair....
I have never been drug tested this entire time, but now I'm in this new state and they're throwing me back to square fucking one.

I had to do the counseling shit on probation and it was pretty expensive. Maybe you can find something cheaper, but the guy was at least understanding that I was pretty overly fucked over by a shitty system and shouldn't have had to be there. It was kinda just like paying to chill with some dude for an hour a week for a month or 2.
I wouldn't expect any tests done on your hair. I've never talked to anyone saying they've had their hair tested during probation.

I think it's going to at least be covered by my health insurance, at least that's what my probation officer said...

Yeah it's mostly urine, I have heard of saliva test before, and a thing they stick on your leg to see if you have been drinking with the last few days, but for the most part it's always urine.
I would be more concerned with how many panels the tests are, like how many drugs they test for. Some places only test for 3 things, weed, coke, and opiates, some do way more than that.

I never even questioned the possibility of using insurance for it.
 I'm hiding this thread now, I don't like to think of those days I wish the best of luck to ya

I don't drink anymore, so that's not going to be an issue.
I have dabbled with some other things in the past few months though, which is why I'm nervous if they test anything other than my urine....

i'd only be worried if you fucked around with weed or benzos... everything else is out in a week or less. They will only be testing your urine, so probably sending it off to a lab. are they just now making you do urinalysis ?
As for counseling... i never had to do that

Yes, first time I have had to be drug tested the entire time. 
The last time I took a benzo (lorazepam) was around the end of March. I smoked one bong hit at the beginning of March, but other than that I haven't smoked cannabis at all for the past year.

only one bongripz?!?! You'll be fine. cannabis is out in a couple weeks, sometimes less for infrequent users... i'm sure you know this lol
it's also been 10+ days since you took it probably... when is your test?
man, the first time... lol the system is so ridiculous. just stay as clean as possible... sometimes they will let you stop all that nonsense if you're good and never test positive... that was my experience.

Do some cardio and excerizes to push out any of those drugs... only thing i would be worried about is the benzo, but it's likely you will be fine... both those drugs are fat soluable, so increasing metabolism and burning off some fat would probably be beneficial... NOT THAT YOU'RE IN ANY WAY FAT

I don't like to say the number because it depresses me so much. I hope I will be eligible for early discharge within the next year or two and/or once my fines are completely paid off.
404 - you think lorazepam would still be in my urine almost 2 months after the last time I took one?

Yeah if you're already halfway through the long haul and haven't significantly violated it in that time you're probably in pretty good standing. sux about the trashy fines tho. good luck with however it pans out, at least being done with all of it will probably be one of the best days of your entire life

no, i read wrong, i for some reason thought it was only a couple weeks since you took it. Looks like it's been awhile since you've had anything, so I really wouldn't sweat it.
