    In the link DrBill gave you it says this, "It takes several hours for peak blood levels to be reached and the half-life of the drug [Librium] is between 24 and 48 hours."

    Probation violation
    Probation violation question,

    I am in a dui court program,

    Went to court, so nervous about going to jail for a day on an unrelated issue. I was in the elevator with a girl in my program and was offered what I thought was an alieve. I took it, she did not tell me till afterward it was a prescription pill that she was not supposed to be taking.

    Now I believe I have given my first dirty test to my po, so I told him the truth I had taken a pill given to me by a girl in the program, I thought it was for a headache. He said that he is going to recommend to the judge I do three days without sober living.

    He said he appreciated my honesty. Does he have to violate my probation as well, or can he just wait till I see the judge and then have my court sanction take place? We go to court every two weeks. Does anyone have experience with this type of stupidity.

    He makes recommendations. The Judge decides. No, I work in the legal system and I have no experience at all with people taking medication offered by a stranger in an elevator and then testing dirty.

    No, instead of that let's keep explaining how to "beat" the various tests, how close to the deadline the OP can drink and drug.

    I'm all for that... all these people should be subject to round the clock random calls telling them you have 2 hours to get your butt to the test center... no more 3 and 4 day advance notice. Put them all back in jail for violating whatever order they violated.

    If you're in the workplace you are subject to testing any time. I don't know why probation schedules testing.

    When I worked for the Feds and was on the road, that's how it worked. I had 2 hours to get to the nearest testing facility.
