To pass a medical exam with a drug addiction, the person usually needs to complete treatment, stop drug use, and show recovery or remission. Doctors may review medical history and run tests, so honesty and proof of rehabilitation are important. If a person fails the exam, the result is recorded and the process connected to the exam may be delayed or denied. The person is typically advised to undergo treatment or rehabilitation and demonstrate a period of sobriety. After recovery, they may be re‑examined and try again.
