Drug testing and new job

A friend of mine got sent home today. The company they work for is getting bought out. They announced the news today and the new company is making everyone take a drug test before continuing employment. This is in Alabama. Is this legal? What options does my friend have? Is there a certain amount of time that is allowed before the test has to be taken? Can the company fire without severance, or fire from a positive test result, etc.? If anyone could point me in the right direction for information related to this issue it would be very helpful.
