Failed drug test at non driving job

I failed a drug test at a welding manufacture 2 years ago. I was not terminated, I just had to go to 6 weeks of therapy and was randomly drug tested for 2 years after the offense.

Now I am interested in getting my CDL and starting my career. Does this non dot/Dac failed drug test affect my chances of getting hired? One company I applied for I told them I failed a drug test, but was never given the chance to explain when and where and the specifics...

If I had not said anything about it, would they have even been able to find out about it if I hadn't said anything?? Everything I have read is about failing dot drug tests.

Nothing about failing a test that is not dot and not getting fired for it. Please help!
