5 U.S. states have passed laws requiring welfare recipients to be tested for drugs. Proponents argue that testing will prevent public funds from being used to subsidize drugs habits and help get treatment for those that are addicted to drugs. Opponents argue that it is a waste of money since the tests will cost more money than they save.

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse or if the recipients treatment could be dangerous if performed to a recipient on drugs.
@FilipR4yrs4Y
Yes, and provide treatment, but after two "strikes" cut benefits and/or send them to mandatory rehab.
@98GH5352yrs2Y
Provide treatment for those testing positive, expect those only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse
