Drug Testing when prescribing controlled substances

This is something I wanted to look more into, so I decided to start here. Is there specific protocol for tox screens, how often, etc. I only ask because I see different things going on in the community. At community mental health clinics that take medicaid - I see people wanting tox screens monthly when prescribing a controlled substance At clinics that take private insurance - I see people getting Klonopin, Adderall, etc without ever being tox'ed, or rarely. I'm not accusing one... Drug Testing when prescribing controlled substances
