Need confirmation - Addiction Survivors Peer-Support Forum

er2015 · 03-08-2015, 11:11 AM

I been with my boyfriend for over 6yrs and a half. I been doing alot of research about cocaine addicts because i believe he's on something. Im not the same ever since i noticed changes in him. i confronted him many times about my suspicions and he denies it. I read some else's post and learned that i can get a piece of his hair and have it tested. I clicked on the link and it directs me to cvs.com. I contacted cvs and they have no information about this. Im trying my best to be as patients as i can be but i need to know the truth. Also, him denying a drug test is a very big red flag. Only with denying it, should i automatically believe he's on drugs? Help someone

Hi er2015, welcome, it could be that that CVS didn't carry it in store? In any event, here's one on the walmart site, you could call and see if they have it in store.

It's pricey, but it might be worth it.

In my opinion, if he is unwilling to take a drug test, then that is a definite red flag. If he had nothing to hide, then he'd probably be more than happy to prove it.

You could probably get dipstick tests for urine at either CVS or Walmart without having to order it, show it to him and ask him right there to prove you wrong. If he won't or says he'll take it later, is again, a red flag.

Let us know what happens.

Thanks Nancy. Do you know if the hair being tested has to be from the root? I picked up his hair from the washroom floor that he recently cut off since he shaved his hair off
