If you're arrested in LA, are you drug tested and put in drug court if you fail?

I saw a public school facebook friend bitching about how his sister called the police on him for domestic violence. He claims he was arrested, drug tested, and put in drug court for two years w/ weekly drug tests. This was all before trial.
This doesn't seem likely to me. Is he making it all up?
Could it be a parish law?
eta: he had a failure to appear.

He may have shown signs of drug use at his arrest, tested positive, etc., and made a deal or something with the ADA.

if they had reason to suspect he was on drugs. yes.
he could have refused unless they had a warrant. so still possible.

It's likely he took some pre trial intervention and accepted those stipulations... They love offering those conditions because they know they then have the person by the balls and about to cause a lot of heartache and money the next couple years
Completely plausible, trust me, I've been through drug court and intensive probation. And have seen all walks of life for various charges in it

Drug court is an alternative to receiving a lengthy probation or jail time. If you complete the program (there are weekly tests at first, but they get less and less frequent), then your probation can be terminated early.

Depends on what color you are.

Probably already on probation for something else.
In that case, it would be likely.

That doesn't sound right.
In AL if you get a DUI you go CRO(court referral office),also known as "color code",until your Trial.
You have to call every weekday morning and see if it's your color.You have to report for a drug test that day.
Then the Judge puts you through a year or so of Community Corrections.Reporting every week or month.Paying your fee every month.Going to Meetings.
It's a money generating system here.
Drug Charges are worse of course.
Saint.Dang.That's a little piece of time.People either get fat or turn into weight lifters.
