Not exactly an answer to your question, but this is my experience:
This happened a few years ago, but I'd been working the job for a few months, when I got told I'd been picked for a random drug screen. I'd been clean for about 3 months, but that wasn't enough time to clean my system from what I'd been on. I went to my bosses office and was straight with him, showed him the NA materials I had, and had my sponsor there to talk to him. Bottom line was he accepted the fact that I wouldn't pass the test and allowed me to skip it, but required me to attend NA meetings twice a week, and checked up on me all the time, and really helped me kick the habit. 3 months later I actually took the test and was clean, and then he asked me to take a test every month just to show that I was working.
Most bosses are understanding if your honest with them...
