| |  Will Suboxone show up on a drug test?
I went to my parents house the other day and after I left, my mom found something on the floor in the bathroom, didn't know what it was, threw it in the toilet and flushed it. Now, two days later she's convinced herself it was marijuana, even though she's never smoked pot, has never seen it in person and her only reference point was a picture weed she found on the Internet yesterday. Of course, she probably found a picture that closest resembled the thing she found and continued to convince herself that she found weed. I come by my parents place for father's day and my mom instantly begins freaking out for apparently smoking pot. (By the ways, I haven't smoked put for a very long time, so unless my dad has a big secret, I know for a fact she didn't find pot.) So I'm getting pretty pissed off and told them I was going to take one of those home drug tests to show her that she's wrong. (My mom is crazy and now doesn't want me to take the test and keeps accusing me. She wants to be right and she knows this will prove her wrong. She's the type that sits and watches TV news all day and pops pills, so yeah...).
ANYWAYS, as to my question: I am on Suboxone and want to know if that will show up as an opiate on my test. Please, if anyone knows the answer or has taken a drug test (ideally a home drug test) while on Suboxone, please let me know and fast!  |

Suboxone is a synthetic opiate it will not show up as an opiate or on a standard drug test. It can be detected in the urine but not for a job it has to be specically tested for. You should be alright!
Not so clueless,

Wow, sounds like your mom is the one with the real problem here that needs help. Prove your point, so you vindicate yourself, as I know that is very important to you, but then you need to talk to your dad or someone about the matter and get her help, she really needs it.
I have a sister like that, she reads the tabloids and thinks it is all gospel, makes for a very interesting conversation with her every time, so now I stick with email communications, much safer that way. LOL! verwon@gmail.com
My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~ |

according to the www.naabt.com website it will not show up as a regular opiate, unless they are doing a separate test for it, it will not show up, check out the site for more info... |

suboxone will not show up on any tests unless that test is set up for detection of suboxone. I was tested specifically for suboxone once and it did nt show up at all. Go figure |

| | suboxone drug test
I have talked to and listened to many chemical dependency professionals and doctors regarding the medication, suboxone. All of them have said that Suboxone will NOT show up on a standard drug test as an opiate. They further acknowledged that a special test had to be given in order to detect Suboxone in one's urine.
However, I have been on Suboxone for approximately 6 months. During that time I have taken 6 drug screens using a urine test. I have tested positive for opiates once, benzos 3 times, and oxycodone once!! I have NOT used ANY of these substances at all during the last 6 months! After review with the counselor and/or medical addiction professional, we concluded that the test was somewhat "cheap" in that the results were not 100% readable or conclusive. So, the benzodiazopine positives were all dismissed. (If you use benzodiazopines while on Suboxone it will cause SEVERE NEGATIVE problems, some which could lead to death!!) The opiate and oxycodone positive results were tested a second time a day later and were proven to be negative. The medical professional concluded that the Suboxone had somehow created a false positive for the opiate result, but contested that I had, in fact, used some sort of oxycodone substance while on Suboxone. Which, as far as I know, is not true and even if it was, the Suboxone blocks its effects.
To answer your question, you should be just fine. I would not worry about it because you know that you are doing the right thing. When I came up positive I became very defensive, which created a cause for suspicious concern by my psycotherapeutic group counselor. She said, "if you didn't use anything then you have nothing to worry about. We will figure it out tomorrow." Which we did when I tested negative the very next day!

I have never taken Oxy, just lots of Lortab and Norcos.

| | suboxone test
I'm on Suboxone also & know my obnoxious dr. tests for Opiates and Suboxen. He wants to know if I'm taking Opiates, a no no, and that I'm taking the suboxone and not selling it. It's just a different test. The man is an untusting ass. Hope that helps. |

You should be good, marijuana is the only drug that last a long time in your system.
other drugs leave blood within a day to days.
and weed also stays in your urine for up to a month.
while others stay in urine for 2-4 days except pcp and benz they last as long as marijuana.
and all drugs stay in your hair for 90+ days.
good luck.

I can tell you that Suboxone can be tested for and often is. I had to take one because I went through my pain meds a little faster than I should have this past time and I was just tested by my PM doctor and failed. Looks like I am going to be in a tough spot with my pain, but oh well...I feel like i should just learn to deal with it anyway, these meds have messed me all up. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
