Drug Test Urinalysis
Drug use and abuse is a bigger problem in the military than ever before. If you’ve facing a court martial or any accusation that you’ve failed a drug test, your career may be on the line. Fortunately, an experienced military drug test urinalysis lawyer can help you defend yourself against the allegations.
Potential Penalties
Failing a drug test can send you to a court martial. You might face a summary proceeding, a special court martial or a general court martial. If your drug test comes to the attention of the higher ups because of a crime, you might face proceedings related to the crime in addition to the failed drug test.
If you’re found guilty at your court martial, officials have a variety of penalties that they can choose from. They can place you on restrictions or make you forfeit pay. They can even take away your rank. If your offense is serious, your military career might be over.

Understanding the Process
If you’re facing a court martial or criminal proceeding because of a failed drug test, an attorney can help you understand all stages of the proceedings. A court martial is similar to a criminal case in a civilian court, but there are some key differences. For example, a decision to find you guilty in a court martial doesn’t have to be a unanimous decision of the jurors like it must be in a civilian criminal proceeding. It’s important to understand these differences, so that you don’t make errors as you proceed through the case.
The Best Possible Outcome
If you’re struggling with an addiction or a substance abuse problem, you’re not alone. Military officials know that substance abuse is a common problem for dedicated service members. Part of your court martial might include working with officials to develop a plan to treat your abuse issue.
You might agree to participate in counseling. You may need treatment for an addiction. The military might recommend or demand increased monitoring for substance abuse and drug use. These are all things that might help you conquer your issue and continue your military career.
