Urine drug test & Adderall script?

Why would my doctor order a urine drug test before getting my next prescription for Adderall XR, 30 MG refilled again? I've taken this for a number of years and I've never had a drug test before?

Female | 59 years old
Complaint duration: once
Medications: Adderall XR 30MG twice a day
Conditions: narcolepsy

There is a new focus on what is called “controlled substances” which includes Adderal now. The test is to be sure you are taking the Adderal and be sure you are not taking any other meds your doctor doesn’t know about.
You should ask your doctor who ordered it. Typically they order these to ensure there is no diversion.
