I guess what I really want to know is what happens at a drug and alcohol evaluation? What should I expect, blood testing, breathalizer stuff like that. What will they ask me. I have never been through anything like this before so it is kind of scary

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I have to go get this Drug/ETOH evaluation, It says if they do not find me impaired then I may sit for the exam, IF they DO FIND ME Impaired then I may obtain a license by setting up an agreement with the PHMP, and ...
