La méthode de sevrage diffère peu selon la drogue utilisée. À la réduction progressive des doses, on préfère aujourd’hui soit un sevrage brutal, avec le soutien d’anxiolytiques, d’analgésiques ou d’antidépresseurs, soit un sevrage progressif, mené à l'aide d’une substance de remplacement telle que la méthadone ou la buprénorphine. 3, record 2, French, - sevrage%20brutal

A negative sample, meaning the drug is not contained in the urine, ... has limitations of interpretation. Since drugs have different clearance rates in urine, it is possible that a negative test could result from not sampling soon enough after drug consumption. It is also possible that the dose of the drug taken was not large enough to result in sufficient quantities of drug metabolites to be detected with the current cut-off levels of the laboratory tests. It could also be that the drugs were not used chronically. Intermittent drug use will result in periods of time where no drug or metabolite is contained in the sample. 3, record 3, English, - negative

L'interprétation d’un échantillon négatif, c'est-à-dire d’un échantillon qui ne renferme pas la drogue recherchée, présente [...] des limites. Comme les drogues ont différents taux d’élimination dans l'urine, il est possible qu'un résultat négatif soit attribuable au fait que l'échantillon n’ a pas été prélevé assez rapidement après la consommation de la drogue. Il se peut également que la dose consommée n’ ait pas été assez forte pour produire des quantités suffisantes de métabolites de drogues qui peuvent être détectés à l'aide des seuils actuels des tests en laboratoire. La drogue peut aussi ne pas avoir été consommée régulièrement. La consommation intermittente d’une drogue aboutit à des périodes où l'échantillon ne renferme ni drogue ni métabolite. 1, record 3, French, - n%C3%A9gatif
