I took two drugs tests while applying for positions in my chosen field. Neither one required anyone to be in the room with me while I peed in the cup. They had controls in place (washing hands at certain times, not flushing until they said so, a temperature strip on the outside of the cup to check to make sure it is not old urine, etc.) to make sure you weren't cheating.

If you are concerned, bring it up when you go for the test. Hopefully they will work with you.

Good luck!
